Rainier Drive S. | www.mountbaker.org | 206.722.7209 RIDE MOUNT BAKER WITH A BIKE ROAD TRIP By Rebecca Laszlo, MBCC neighbor I am an avid biker and love finding interesting and scenic routes near my Mount Baker home. I have mapped out a dozen or so routes in and around the neighborhood that are worth sharing. The routes suggested in this ar- ticle are ideal for local exploring. Some zigzag along Mount Baker’s many ridges while some stick to the flats to avoid sweaty exertions (unless you want to push hard). They include a combination of regional trails without cars, quiet neighborhood streets likely to have just a few cars, and wide streets where cars can give you space. Continued on page 10 WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD The MBCC Communications Committee recently sent out 150 welcome packets to our newest Mount Baker residents. We introduced ourselves, highlighted the many activities at the Clubhouse and told them a little about our 100-year legacy in the community. To neighbors old and new, we invite you all to stop by the Clubhouse to say hello! Come meet the staff and learn about all the fun ways you and your family can get involved in our community activities.

    © Copyright 2017 Annegret Helene Nautsch i Exploring Walkability: a Spatial Analysis of Vibrancy in New Holly, a New Urbanist Community in south Seattle, WA Annegret Helene Nautsch A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Urban Planning University of Washington 2017 Committee: Robert Mugerauer Rachel Berney Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Urban Design and Planning ii University of Washington Abstract Exploring Walkability: a Spatial Analysis of Vibrancy in New Holly, a New Urbanist Community in south Seattle, WA Annegret Helene Nautsch Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Bob Mugerauer, PhD Urban Design & Planning Walkability is a notion that crosses multiple fields of study including planning, real estate, and public health. Social cohesion and community ideals are equated to walkable areas. For this thesis, walkability is defined as a two-part phenomenon: accessibility and vibrancy. This thesis focuses primarily on the vibrancy half of this definition. Vibrancy refers to the intangibles of walkability, mainly the social assets associated with walkability. Walkability is a key part of the New Urbanism design movement, which aims create to livable and walkable communities. Across the United States, many redevelopment plans have used New Urbanist design guidelines to revitalize distressed public housing. To examine the vibrancy part of walkability, observations and behavioral mapping were completed in New Holly, a mixed-income housing site in south Seattle. This data was then analyzed using a four-part iii vibrancy framework developed through a thorough literature review. With this vibrancy analysis, New Holly is given a relative vibrancy rating. Specific barriers to vibrancy, common to all four vibrancy factors, are identified.

  • Oasis Greenways: a New Model of Urban Park and Bikeway Within Constrained Street Rights-Of-Way
    Oasis Greenways: A New Model of Urban Park and Bikeway within Constrained Street Rights-of-Way A Thesis Presented by Tomas Arvydas Bertulis to The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Civil Engineering in the field of Transportation Engineering Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts May 2013 ABSTRACT Parks and greenways can offer many benefits to urban communities in many areas including recreational, public health, and increased land value. This research examines the approach of using only the right-of-way (ROW) of publicly owned streets to transform pavement into a new paradigm for a linear park. The needs of the linear park include it being continuous, green, and shared space, which involves ultra low motor vehicle speeds and volumes. This park is called an “Oasis Greenway,” which is a long series of interconnected low-speed, low-volume, shared-space, vegetated linear parks created from an assembly of residential streets. To meet the objectives, an Oasis Greenway has to address traffic demands and spatial constraints while connecting to a greater greenway network. Using a calibrated trip generation ratio, this research develops a model by incorporating speed control, volume control, road user dynamic envelops, connections across high-volume roads, and enough greenspace to emulate a parklike environment. Using this model, residential streets can be converted into linear parks, potentially creating a usable network of Oasis Greenways and greenspaces. The criteria and thresholds developed in this thesis can be applied to cities across the country to increase greenspace and give more opportunities for walking, biking, and recreation.
