I AM ASKING FOR YOUR HELP

Cities, Counties and Washington State are supposed to assure, if possible, that traffic lights activate for cyclists. 

Contact Warren Bare at vicepresident@bikesclub.org with location and problem and we will attempt to direct the complaint to the proper jurisdiction for a successful    resolution.  Or you can contact the agencies listed on the website.

If you are aware of intersections that have had complaints and been fixed or not been fixed please also contact Warren with this information.

We would like to add to the list below and document the compliance throughout Snohomish County by adding previous fixes as well as current ones.

                                        THANKS Warren
