Seattle Bicycle Master Plan

May 2021 Dear Seattle,

Despite the challenges 2020 brought us, Seattle is still a more vibrant and connected city because of the progress we’ve made on transportation projects funded by the Levy to Move Seattle, other local sources, and grant partners.

Unprecedented circumstances in 2020 required us to recalibrate and adjust . From a transportation perspective, we met the moment and responded to our region’s changing travel Prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, patterns. Our important work to support Seattle had seen ridership grow by 18% at our key communities – especially our most vulnerable – count locations over the last few years. As people was evident through programs like Stay Healthy return to job sites, we expect these numbers Streets and Reconnect West Seattle. to continue to grow along with our continued buildout of a connected bicycle network. To create this implementation plan, in 2019 SDOT held multiple community meetings, asking We value the passion and commitment of hundreds of people what their priorities were for residents, workers, and employers who continue building bike facilities in Seattle. In collaboration to engage in making Seattle a world-class bike with Department of Neighborhoods, these city. We look forward to continued engagement community conversations were able to inform our as we deliver the projects and programs in this bike projects moving forward, and we continue plan and realize our shared vision for a truly safe, to hold ourselves accountable to the 2019 connected, multimodal network in Seattle. implementation plan. Sincerely, While 2020 had its challenges, 2021 is shaping Jenny A. Durkan Mayor of Seattle up be a banner year. In 2021, we expect to add 12 to 20 miles of bicycle facilities to the bicycle Sam Zimbabwe network. Seattle will see key investments coming Director, Seattle Department of Transportation online connecting our bicycle network to new transit facilities like the new Light Rail Stations in Northgate and the University District, additional projects in the Center City Bike Network, and new “all ages and abilities” connections in high collision locations.

BACKGROUND 26 miles of “Stay Healthy Streets” in 2020 to The Seattle Bicycle Master Plan’s (BMP) vision is give people ample space to travel and recreate that riding a bicycle is a comfortable and integral in the neighborhoods. In West Seattle, staff are part of daily life in Seattle for people of all ages engaging with the community to prioritize safe and abilities. The BMP identifies projects and and comfortable options for people to bike to programs to be implemented from 2014 to 2033 help connect to daily needs. As the city looks to achieve the vision and meet the plan’s goals for to the future, SDOT will continue to look for safety, ridership, equity, connectivity, and livability. opportunities to cost-effectively deliver projects and programs to support the people riding bikes The BMP outlines an infrastructure plan for a as a comfortable part of daily life. connected network that includes approximately 100 miles of protected bicycle lanes and nearly PURPOSE 250 miles of neighborhood greenways. The BMP This implementation plan describes the work that also identifies activities designed to support and the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) encourage riding such as facility maintenance, and our partners will undertake to implement bicycle parking, and educational events. the BMP over the next four years.

As part of these to build the greenways. efforts, Mayor Jenny Durkan announced Stay Healthy Streets in the spring 2020. Stay Healthy We have committed to make up to 20 miles of Stay Streets are closed to through traffic and open to Healthy Streets permanent. We continue to collect people walking, rolling and biking, which allows community feedback to equitably and carefully residents the space they need to remain physically plan and develop these streets so they can distant while safely recreating close to home. facilitate safe ways for everyone in our community to maintain their mental and physical health. We continue to work with the Mayor’s Office on possible funding sources to meet our commitment.

KEEP MOVING STREETS In partnership with Seattle Parks and Recreation we opened streets adjacent to four of Seattle’s most popular destination parks. These streets were opened to provide additional space for social distancing and encourage safe recreation.

Two of these streets, Green Lake and Alki Point, have remained open for walking and biking through the winter months. With the approach of warmer weather in summer 2021 we are again working with our partners at Seattle Parks and Recreation to evaluate Keep Moving Street options for Lake Washington Bld and how we can support COVID safe recreation at Golden Gardens.

RECONNECT WEST SEATTLE On March 23, 2020, to protect public safety, we closed the West Seattle High-Rise Bridge in response to rapid concrete cracking.

Tier 1 is the Access Improvement funding. SDOT will also highest scoring 20% of the projects, Tier 2 is the leverage opportunities presented by WSDOT’s next highest 20%, and so on. replacement of the SR 520 bridge in improving bike connections. QUALITATIVE PRIORITIZATION The next step of our prioritization process considers qualitative factors including policy directives, community interest, and geographic balance. In 2019, SDOT and Department of Neighborhoods held several community drop- in sessions to solicit community feedback on the project list. In collaboration with the Seattle Bicycle Advisory Board, feedback from the *Approximately 25 miles of bike facilities will be delivered community was considered to select projects that in partnership with other programs over the next 5 years. These include projects like the Green Lake Paving Project, helped to connect and extend Seattle’s all ages Northgate Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge, and Delridge Way and abilities network. Based on the feedback SW - RapidRide H Line project.

18 | SEATTLE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 6. PROJECT LIST

For ease of review and discussion, the proposed 2021-2024 projects and maps are organized by geographic sector (north, central, and south), and provide a description including desired construction year, facility type, project length, funding status, and major benefits and challenges associated with each project. All projects proposed for the implementation plan are also included on one city-wide map to show the connected network goal by 2024.

There are several projects on the list and map where the exact route, length, and/or facility type of each project are still unknown. In those instances, the location, length, and/or facility type is listed as “TBD” (to be determined). Several projects listed as such in the 2019 BMP Implementation Plan have been updated, and subsequent implementation plans will be updated with more specific information as these projects enter the project definition phase. There are several projects where we have identified potential challenges for construction. These challenges include project cost, neighborhood support, agency coordination, and corridors that have high demands from other modes. Protected bike lane through the intersection

Each sector has a set of projects listed as “funded through design”. These range from With this plan, we are focusing our efforts on projects in the design stage and projects at the delivering these projects. We view this project planning stage. Planning includes studying the list as an accountability plan that will guide corridor connections, identifying alternatives for the work of SDOT and partners in delivering facility types and cross sections; developing cost bicycle infrastructure improvements. As projects estimates and proposing project scope. advance and sometimes evolve, we will continue to use this list and annual Levy updates to communicate project status and any changes since the previous plans as outlined in the tables on pages 15-17.

SEATTLE BICYCLE MASTER PLAN 2021-2024 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN | 19 BENEFITS AND CHALLENGES The benefits and challenges associated with each project were determined by spatial analysis of proximity to transit, schools, community centers, urban villages, and RSJI opportunity areas. Cost estimates were generated by typical project scale of impact and by using recently completed project cost information. The complete methodology can be reviewed in the table below:

CONNECTIONS TO MAJOR/MASS TRANSIT Projects with this icon overlap with corridors that offer connections to existing or near-term major transit opportunities. This provides alternative connections to transit for facility users. Major transit includes Light Rail stations, Bus Rapid Transit/Transit Plus Multi-Modal Corridor routes, and Transit+ routes. SCHOOLS, COMMUNITY CENTERS, AND URBAN VILLAGE CONNECTIONS Projects with this icon route to within 300 feet of school or community center locations. This serves to connect BMP facility users with specific community points of interest. Additionally, facilities that route to/through Urban Villages or Urban Centers were highlighted in this analysis. CONNECTIONS TO BICYCLE FACILITIES Projects with this icon connect to existing BMP facilities or facilities that are planned to be constructed by the end of the current BMP Implementation Plan’s timeline. For the purposes of this analysis, bicycle facilities were determined to be minor- separation facilities (bicycle lanes), major-separation facilities (protected bicycle lanes), and multi-use trails. Connections can be present at any part of the proposed route. Multiple connections to one project are not differentiated. COST TIER This icon differentiates between low, medium, and high marginal costs associated with implementation of the project. This is based off of costs allocated from the Bicycle Master Plan itself and does not factor in funds provided by other programs or agencies.

Low cost projects are expected to cost the BMP under $350,000 per constructed mile.

Medium cost projects are expected to cost the BMP between $350,000 and $1,250,000 per constructed mile.

High cost projects are expected to cost the BMP over $1,250,000 per constructed mile.

Projects that are fully funded by other programs or agencies are considered low cost. RACE AND SOCIAL JUSTICE INITIATIVE (RSJI) OPPORTUNITIES Projects with this icon route through portions of the city that score in the upper quartile of the City of Seattle Race and Social Equity Composite Index. This index scores regions of Seattle based on multiple inputs related to RSJI points of focus, including median income, access to opportunities, racial compositions, and health outputs. Projects in the upper quartile are identified as facilities that have potential for greater benefits. PARTNERSHIP Partly or fully funded in partnership with another agency or through a grant.

FUNDING ASSUMPTIONS We are deeply invested in building out more bike The 2021-2024 Implementation Plan leverages the facilities across the city. To do that work, we will funding provided by the Levy to Move Seattle with continue to partner with other agencies and other local funds as well as existing and anticipated programs, and to seek additional grants and funding grant funding. Additionally, some of our large capital sources to meet the Move Seattle mileage goals. programs, such as the Transit Plus Multimodal Corridor Program, seek to deliver bicycle We are seeking several grants to build out key improvements where appropriate. This multi- projects from the contingency list (Design/Plan layered funding approach allows us to maximize projects). To be successful, we are investing funds the return on local public funding. The Levy to Move up front to do early design on projects to help us Seattle provides $65 million over nine years with in the grants process. In the past SDOT has been the goal to build protected bike lanes, bike lanes, successful with grant applications for bicycle buffered bike lanes, and neighborhood greenways. projects. It also provides $7 million for programs (including maintenance and bicycle parking).

38 | SEATTLE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION APPENDIX 1: PERFORMANCE MEASURES

The 2014 Bicycle Master Plan includes performance measures to assess whether the plan is meeting its goals. The measures are focused on assessing progress over the long-term, and data is collected and analyzed either annually or as the data is available to help track interim progress. The table below includes the BMP performance measures and progress towards those targets based on the most recently available data.

PERFORMANCE MEASURE TARGETS Goal Performance Measure Performance Target Performance Result Ridership Number of people biking counted Quadruple ridership Total 2014 to 2020: 4%* increase at locations throughout Seattle between 2014 and 2030 Safety Bicycle collision rate Reduce bicycle collision 2014: 27/1,000 Commuters rate by half (50 percent) 2015: 30/1,000 Commuters between 2013 and 2030 2016: 30/1,000 Commuters 2017: 34/1,000 Commuters 2018: 22/1,000 Commuters 2019: 20/1,000 2020: See 2021 Traffic Report** Number of serious injuries and Zero by 2030 2014: 24 serious injuries; 1 fatality fatalities 2015: 26 serious injuries; 1 fatality 2016: 30 serious injuries; 3 fatalities 2017: 16 serious injuries; 2 fatalities 2018: 30 serious injuries; 1 fatality 2019: 28 serious injuries; 2 fatalities 2020: 17 serious injuries; 1 fatality Connectivity Percentage of bicycle facility 100 percent of bicycle 2013: 22% network completed system constructed by 2016: 28% (167/608 miles) 2035 2017: 29% (179/608 miles) 2019: 37% (222/608 miles) 2020: 37%: (226/608 miles) Equity Areas lacking bicycle facilities Zero areas of City 2012: 7 census tracts lacking bicycle facilities 2016: 7 census tracts by 2030 2017: 7 census tracts 2018: 7 census tracts 2019: 6 census tracts 2020: 6 census tracts Livability Percentage of households within 100% of households in 2013: 34% ¼ mile of an all ages and abilities Seattle within ¼ mile of 2016: 49% bicycle facility an all ages and abilities 2017: 60% bicycle facility by 2035 2018: 61% 2019: 66% 2020: 68%

*In 2020 we saw a dramatic reduction of people using our streets due to COVID - 19 and Stay at Home orders. As of 2019, we had seen a 25.6% increase in people bicycling and we expect that to return as more people return to job sites. **The bicycle collision rate is published annually in the SDOT Traffic Report. The 2020 Report will be published in the fall 2021.
