Steve Hulsman, a beloved West Seattle bike rider was struck and killed by a driver with a suspended license on Marine View Drive in December of last year. 

Now his family and friends have asked for his memory to be honored by the City and Councilmember Rob Saka has responded.

In a letter to Hulsman’s widow Rita and his brother in law John Good Saka said,

“I will be sponsoring a Council resolution to propose a secondary street naming in honor of Steve.  This may take a little time to make it happen but it is my honor to do it… Secondly, I am proposing an amendment in the upcoming Transportation Levy proposal to include a naming of a protected bicycle lane in Steve’s memory. “

The ceremonial sign will be in addition to the existing signage and will appear with it.
