Livable Streets Themes What is Seattle Neighborhood Green Streets connecting Children’s Livable parks, schools, and trails Streets Initiative? Improved access to the Burke-Gilman Trail • 20 year plan that accompanies Safe crossings of major arterials our Major Institution Master Plan The projects outlined in this booklet were identified through (MIMP) collaboration with SDOT and community input, and selected • Goal: to improve transportation as most supportive of the Livable Streets themes. These proposals are consistent with goals, locations, corridors, and in our neighborhood projects identified in plans and public processes, including: • Bike/Pedestrian improvements UATAS University Area Transportation Action Strategy SPW Sand Point Way Pedestrian Study • Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) NSF Neighborhood Streets Fund proposals BMP Bicycle Master Plan • Corridor/Safety improvements PMP Pedestrian Master Plan • ~$4 Million commitment BOG Bands of Green LSW Seattle Children’s Livable Streets Workshop

5 Seattle Children’s Livable Streets Initiative: Public Involvement

On Saturday, November 13, more than 300 community members participated in Seattle Children’s Livable Streets Workshop. Hundreds of comments and project ideas have been received through the event, email, and on the website. The workshop featured: • Opportunities to suggest and comment on project ideas • Demonstrations of potential project types, including street design, ITS, and bike facilities • Free kids’ bicycle helmets and fittings, with bike safety “Skillz & Thrillz” obstacle course • Booths from 18 community co-sponsors • “Pedal with Decisionmakers” bike ride to visit and discuss target project locations in the neighborhood

All of the public input on Seattle Children’s Livable Streets received to date is included in Appendix B to this booklet. 6 Potential Projects

Project Themes Neighborhood Green Streets connecting parks, schools, and trails

Improved access to the Burke-Gilman Trail

Safe crossings of major arterials

7 Theme: Neighborhood Green Streets connecting parks, schools, and trails

The Seattle Children’s Livable Streets Initiative proposes to partner with the Seattle Department of Transportation and our neighborhood sponsors to build a Neighborhood Green Street on one of these corridors to connect the Burke- Gilman Trail, schools, parks, and other existing bicycle and walking facilities. This will also include elements of a high-quality bicycle boulevard as specified in Seattle’s Bicycle Master Plan.

8 1. What is a Neighborhood Green Street?

BMP BOG LSW

Photo: Payton Chung, Flickr Neighborhood Green Streets are residential streets improved to make all people feel comfortable walking, biking, or playing.

Drivers can still pass through, but traffic moves at slower speeds. These traffic calming elements of Neighborhood Green Streets encourage people of all ages and abilities to spend time outdoors in their community. In addition, the design features include planters that serve to provide natural stormwater drainage and greenscapes. 9 1. Elements of a Neighborhood Green Street

The Burke-Gilman Trail is an invaluable asset for transportation and recreation in Northeast Seattle. Seattle Children’s Livable Streets Initiative proposes to build projects that help people reach the Trail by bicycle and on foot, extending the reach and benefit of this facility and knitting together Northeast Seattle neighborhoods.

11 2. Ravenna Pl NE & NE 55th St: Traffic flow revision to fill a “missing link”

Burke- Gilman Trail Ravenna Pl NE to Ravenna Ave NE north of Blakeley St is a gap between the Burke-Gilman Trail and the trails of , bike lanes on Ravenna Blvd, and Park.

Dedicating one traffic lane to two-way bicycle traffic and pedestrians would fill this missing link. Example: Separated two-way bike lane in Montreal. Photo: BikePortland.org 12 2. Ravenna Pl NE & NE 55th St: Intersection redesign, to be built in 2011

SDOT will redesign the intersection at Ravenna Pl, UATAS Ravenna Ave, and NE 55th St. Slowing speeds and reducing cut-through traffic turning south-bound onto BMP Ravenna Pl would make the crossing safer and more BOG predictable for people on foot and bike. LSW

LSW

Current Photo: GoogleMaps

Example sidewalks with street parking. Photo: Google Maps

This street is missing sidewalk segments on both sides, creating a dangerous and unappealing pedestrian environment. Completing sidewalks could improve the walk from the Burke-Gilman Trail. 14 3. NE 50th Street and 40th Ave NE: Intersection redesign for safer crossings

Redesigning this intersection with curb bulbs LSW and crosswalks would shorten the crossing distance and improve sight lines.

Example intersection design. Drawing: Project for Public Spaces

This intersection has long crossings, and the slope of 40th Avenue NE makes it difficult for pedestrians and bicyclists 15 to be seen by drivers. Photo: GoogleMaps 4. 36th Ave NE & Sand Point Way NE: ADA accessible connection

UATAS LSW

The only way to get to the Burke-Gilman Trail today at 36th Ave NE and NE 45th St is via these stairs, a barrier to using mobility devices, strollers, or . Photos: Seattle Children’s

16 5. Burke-Gilman Trail at 45th Ave NE: Improved ADA access to Trail

LSW

Improved access to the trail would make it easier for people walk and bike.

45th Avenue NE is a good candidate for a Neighborhood Green Street connecting View Ridge School, View Ridge Park and the Burke-Gilman Trail. Current Trail access is via stairs Photo: Seattle Children’s

17 6. Princeton Ave NE at Burke-Gilman Trail: ADA accessible connection

PMP LSW

The existing gravel path at Princeton Ave and the Burke-Gilman Trail could be paved and graded to minimize vegetation transplanting and provide an accessible route from the trail to the bus stop, business area and surrounding neighborhood. An existing cross walk and signal is located at Sand Point Way. Princeton is targeted for sidewalks in the Pedestrian Master Plan. Example: A paved switchback in Bettendorf, Iowa Photo: Stuart McDonald, www.americantrails.org Currently, the only way to reach the Trail here is via these stairs or a dirt path. Photo: Seattle Children’s 18 Theme: Safe crossings of major arterials

In Children’s neighborhood, Sand Point Way NE and NE 45th St represent physical and mental barriers to people on foot and bicycle. Seattle Children’s Livable Streets Initiative proposes improvements to help people cross these arterials and help bridge these barriers.

19 7. NE 52nd St & Sand Point Way NE: Pedestrian Crossing Signal

Current intersection SPW without signal Photo: Cary Pillo NSF LSW

Example: signalized crossing Photo: Artbandito, Flickr

A signal at NE 52nd St & Sand Point Way NE would help people walk and bike between the neighborhoods, the Burke- Gilman Trail, Laurelhurst Elementary, and the parks 20 8. 40th Ave NE & Sand Point Way NE: New signal and redesigned intersection

SPW LSW

Current intersection

A new traffic signal and carefully redesigned intersection at 40th & Sand Point Way would make a better and safer experience for people crossing the street, getting to the Burke-Gilman Trail, or reaching their bus stop Intersection will be improved as part of Children’s plan; Hartmann Building no longer part of the project.

004-002 20th Ave NE A really simple thing that could be done is to put an indicator (like a light) that is Install an indicator that is visible to bike riders that lets them know the smart Email visible to the rider that lets them know the signal has been triggered. Put it in the signal has been triggered (like the LED on newer crosswalk buttons) on Luke Rogers / NE 65th St same pole as the walkers button. The walkers get such an indicator on many new intersections like 20th Ave NE and NE 65th St. intersections, one for cyclists would be great too. A good example of an intersection that could use this feature is the one at 20th Ave NE and NE 65th Street. This should be very inexpensive to implement and I believe would help keep cyclists from giving up on waiting for the green light and running it instead since they have no way of knowing if the darn light is ever going to change.

007-001 General location I’m contacting your regarding a project at the 24th Ave. Street End. Located in Email Ballard, the project will add green infrastructure stormwater treatment that links Elisabeth Dunigan / Market Ave. with the waterfront on 24th Ave. The project also seeks to develop the green infrastructure with educational programs that will offer opportunties for children to learn about the complex issues surrounding the region's stormwater with a walkable urban link that connects the heart of Ballard with the waterfront. The project intersects the proposed "Missing Link" bicycle path and we're working with Ballard's Bike Share Group to install a bike station at the pedestrian link (http://www.ballardnewstribune.com/2010/10/14/news/group- working-bring-bike-share-program-ballard). I've attached a board that explains more about the project with maps of the area. The green infrastructure treatment was imagined during facilitated sessions with Sustainable Ballard in 2007 and would convert areas of the street end and street edge into excavated bioswale gardens. We are working with Seattle Parks, schools, and non-profit groups to install an innovative street edge treatment that would break down petroleum contaminants carried by stormwater on street surfaces using mushroom mycelium planted in the soil. Additionally, the gardens would slow the flow of water and divert rain water away from industrial properties. Our goal is to raise additional funding for this pilot project which will cover costs for the children educational program for implementation of the the bioswale treatment. We respectfully request that you help us reach our goal by providing a donation. The project will significantly impact the waterway by offering solutions to mitigate contaminants carried by stormwater and protecting a watershed where young salmon have been identified while serving as an educational showcase and prototype for other projects in the area. The project also Seattle Parks has prioritized the project to receive a $200,000 grant from the Seattle Parks Levy Opportunity (SPLO) funds for development next year. Please refer to the link below for the SPLO grant. Construction will begin during Spring 2010: http://www.cityofseattle.net/parks/levy/opportunity/draft_final_list.pdf We ask to start a dialogue with the Livable Streets about future collaboration with the project and identifying additional funding to execute an innovative project that will serve as a model for low impact development . I’d be happy to meet at your convenience to further discuss the project. Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you in advance for your dedication to ecologically enhance region with improved pedestrian and bicycle safety

001-001 NE 50th St We are often asked about walking between the hospital and University Village in Email Family Resource Center, sometimes by parents who have already tried and failed Joe Roza / to find their own way or use a map. I walk this route every day, and I always see many others using it, too. It's mostly a very pleasant and relaxing amble, but in places it's intimidating and uncomfortable. For those who don't know what's on the other side, these bad spots are real barriers. Please consider these 2 or 3 bits of sidewalk that would make a real difference for some families at the hospitals, and some of the hospital's neighbors.

There is a good crossing at the Burke-Gilman trail But first, you have Trail Joe Roza / to get through a three-way intersection where there is no obvious walking path. This is the opposite of a Dutch-style naked street. The path for high-speed vehicle is clearly indicated, while the pedestrian path from NE 50th to the BGT is unmarked, unpaved, and generally well hidden. We need a raised sidewalk from NE 50th, across NE Blakey to the BGT. [Photo 001-C]

This stretch of Martha Tucker / NE 50th betweem 35th NE and NE Blakeley has no sidewalks, is hilly and slippery when wet, has lots of car traffic, and has no egress along the northern side because of Calvary Cemetery. On football game days, it is very busy and dangerous. Possible to nominate it for a sidewalk?? My commute options to UW for work are busing, walking, and driving. I do all three, but walking gets dangerous along that stretch in the winter wet and dark.

After that, the concrete ends but the right of way is still mostly there. But after University View Place, it’s all parked cars, ruts, gravel and stones. It drives you into the street, which is fairly narrow (see the Honda Element for scale). There is a nice sidewalk on the other side, but it leads away from the University Village, and the crossing to it is often blocked by parked cars. [Photo 001-B]

The problem here is where to Add curbs and sidewalks, perhaps curb bulbs to the intersection of NE 50th and Email stand while waiting to cross the street. The north side of the street offers parked 40th Ave NE Joe Roza / 40th Ave NE cars and mud. At the northern corner, signs and trees hide you and parked cars block your view. The southern corner, marked in the photo, provides better sight lines, is under a street light, and it puts you on the same side of 50th as the stairs and the sidewalks farther west. But there is no corner there. You have to stand back on that gravel bar, or risk being hit by a car turning right. The wide radius of this corner pulls the pedestrian out of the drivers’ line of sight, and exaggerates the offset alignment of NE 50th, make the crossing a longer walk than is necessary.

009-001 Princeton St I'm writing to let you know that your project for improved ADA access to the Do not build ADA access to Burke-Gilman Trail at the Princeton St Bridge. Email Burke-Gilman trail at the Princeton Street bridge is problematic and should not Improving ADA access to and from the trail at 45th Ave NE would be a much Thomas Kelly / Burke-Gilman Trail be done as suggested in the booklet Children's staff prepared for the Liveable better project with lower cost, fewer negatives, and a higher benefit-to-cost ratio. Streets workshop. The images in the booklet were quite disturbing because they show destruction of a large natural area. As shown the project would do much more harm than good and not be a cost effective or wise use of limited funds. Harm done to native vegetation at this site by the sort of ADA structure or path shown would outweigh the benefits of improved ADA access. I believe that Children's staff prepared the booklet, before the first Liveable Streets session held on November 6. The image of a biker on the steps in the document indicate unfamiliarity with the location and is misleading because the biker is shown awkwardly handling the bike and not using the bike ramp at the side of the steps. That European style bike ramp was installed at community request when the bridge was rebuilt in 2002 and provides a good means for walking bikes up or down along the side of the steps. Native vegetation at this spot has been better than many areas adjacent to the trail for a long time. Back in the early 1990's when the Burke Gilman Trail Vegetation Management Plan was being developed City Foresters praised the quality of the spot at a public meeting held there. After bridge construction in 2002, the native vegetation was further improved by additional plantings. Since then many people have worked at stewarding the native vegetation at this site. Within the past three or four years alone hundreds and perhaps as many as a thousand people including neighbors, people from community groups, and others, have worked at stewarding and improving the native vegetation in the mile and a half of trail south of NE 65th Street including the area near the bridge. The design shown at the workshop looked as if it would be quite expensive to build due to the amount of engineering, grading, and concrete work which would be required on the slope. In addition maintenance costs for ramps at this location may be higher than most locations due to potential need to remove leaf or vegetion litter from a ramp's surface to prevent it from becoming unsafely slippery. Surely there must be more efficient and effective ways to spend Liveable Streets funds. Improving ADA access to and from the trail at 45th Avenue NE which is already be on your project list would provide an ADA link between the bridge and the trail via a few hundred feet of sidewalk alongside NE 55th St. The slope of this route would be gradual and within ADA standards. Improving ADA access at 45th Avenue NE seems a much better project with lower cost, fewer if any negatives, and a higher benefit to cost ratio.

011-001 Sand Point Way NE Since Children’s began to charge for offsite parking at Magnusson, Church Email Archives and 70th, increasingly employees are parking along Sandpoint Way Carole Knezevich / and hopping on the 75. No problem except where Sandpoint turns into a 2 lane residential road (north of NOAA). Now several of the bus stops are being discontinued – such as the ones at the entrance to Matthew’s Beach Park. The result is that people have to walk a dangerous path to get to the remaining bus stops, skirting around more and more parked cars, stepping out onto the sometimes curved road and often in rainy dark weather. At these locations, Sandpoint Way is a neglected road with no sidewalks and with foliage growing out toward the road. Please address this as the situation will get worse as Childrens’ expands. Could we have some off-site parking somewhere else besides Sandpoint Way say along Lake City Way for people coming in from Lynnwood and Everett and shuttle people in from another direction?
