This would also hopefully encourage delivery providers to park a truck at a central location and walk or bike to areas, instead of driving their giant trucks through & stopping every block.

In an actual implementation, there should be eyes on the ground to see where it makes sense. Input from the bus & garbage, but NOT from the civilian drivers.

All of these are the bollard config that allows bike (incl cargo bikes) through.

oh yeah it doesn't even suggest it! And in Open Street Map, it's indicated that it's "private access" www.openstreetmap.org#map=19/47.61...
So all that work has already been done. There's no reason for these drivers to be confused, other than "i used to could, and don't like change."

If conversations were restarted, that should have been a new period of public comments, not privileged convos. That's the part that's squirrelly!

The "drivers from Madrona & Eastside are confused" sounds like "SDOT needs to work with Google & Apple to update their maps faster". Not "tear out applied work that makes the city better."

And the human nature to overweight personal anecdote vs statistical rigor. "my neighbor got taxed out of her home" will override any stats about total housing rates and median costs.
