A petition on Change.org has collected 155 signatures in an effort to get an unpaved part of Beach Drive SW finally re-paved. Created by West Seattle resident Jim Unland, It cites the deteriorated nature of the road and calls on newly elected City Councilmember Lisa Herbold and others to address the matter.

The text of the petition reads:

We, the citizens of the City of Seattle - Alki neighborhood, petition the City to repave Beach Dr. SW from the intersection of Beach Dr. SW and 61st Ave. SW south to the intersection of Beach Dr. SW and SW Genesee St.

This section of roadway has received numerous "pot hole repairs" but the condition of this stretch of Beach Dr. SW has deteriorated to the point that spot repairs are no longer sufficient. This roadway is frequently used by bicycle riders and the condition of the road poses many hazards to the them and liability to the City of Seattle.

In August of 2015 the City repaved a two block section of Beach Dr. SW just north of the intersection of Beach Dr. SW and 61st Ave. SW. We were pleased by this improvement to the roadway, however we were disappointed that the roadway south of these improvements remained untouched. The condition of the section of road needing repaving is as bad, if not worse in some sections, as the section repaved in August 2015.

With respect, we demand that the City of Seattle repave Beach Dr. SW from 61st Ave. SW south to SW Genesee St.
