    There is too much accessibility to the playground at Beaver Lake Park. I am so surprised that a child hasn't run into the parking lot and been hit. It is a very busy parking lot during sports events and practices and often children are playing on the playground with minimal supervision (because parents are watching the sporting game). I think you could easily add a fence around the play area.

    There needs to be a way for pedestrians to safely get to the trail system along East Lake Sammamish Parkway from 212th and Louis Thompson. There needs to be a continuous sidewalk or trail along 212th so that children can walk from their bus stops to their neighborhoods and so children can walk to school. Currently there is no continuous sidewalk from south on 212th from the Pine Lake Community Center. There also needs to be a sidewalk or trail from Sunny Hills Elementary south on Issaquah Pine Lake Road. All the main arteries of the city should have trails or sidewalks to encourage walking and safety.
