Hey Seattle cyclists, I’m at my wit’s end trying to resolve a issue with the BikeLink lockers in the city..
I rely on the BikeLink lockers near Green Lake for my commute. For over a year, I’ve noticed that most of these lockers are permanently in an “ABANDONED” state. Recently, it’s gotten to the point where 10 out of 12 lockers are completely unusable.
Most probably the homeless folks nearby were using the lockers as storage.. The thing is – BikeLink is terrible for this purpose. Once the lockers are abandoned, apparently the owners can’t open the lockers without paying fines. KC Metro apparently is also not clearing up the lockers.. So the stuffs are just .. there .. rotting ..
I’ve tried going through the official channels. I called BikeLink directly and contacted metrobikes@kingcounty.gov.
Metro actually responded back in February stating they would send in a work order. Then, just yesterday, they replied and claimed the lockers have been officially “cleaned.”
The only problem? It’s complete fiction. Nothing has changed. The same lockers are still locked down, the items are still there, and the hazard remains.
So reddit, what do I do now??
