 We’ve reached the 30% design milestone of a protected bike lane on Alaskan Way from Virginia St to Broad St! The connection creates an intuitive, safer route for people biking and scooting between the future Waterfront Bike Path and the Elliott Bay Trail. Photo Credit: WSDOT.
Your Levy dollars have been hard at work this year. Here is a roundup of recent blog posts that highlight a few of the many projects around town that Levy dollars have made possible.
_____
- The Waterfront Seattle Program is constructing the Waterfront Bike Path, a two-way protected bike lane on the west side of Alaskan Way from S King St to Virginia St.
- The Alaskan Way Safety Project creates an intuitive, safer connection for people biking between the Waterfront Bike Path and the Elliott Bay Trail by building a new protected bike lane on the west side — also creating a buffer between people walking and driving.
- In response to community feedback, the design includes intersection improvements, lane reductions, and sidewalk and curb ramp repair.
- We expect to finalize the design this year and start construction in 2024. Now’s your chance to provide input.
_____
- Community feedback informed our final design of the 15th Ave NW paving project. The design includes a new signalized pedestrian crossing connecting the Ballard Ave Landmark District to the Ballard Brewery District.
- A new median will make travel safer for everyone, while keeping people and goods moving reliably.
- The project is funded by the voter approved Levy to Move Seattle and Seattle Transit Measure.
- Construction is scheduled to start by the end of the year and last about a year.
- Detour routes will be informed by community input gathered when the project launched.
