    To: Move All Seattle Sustainably (MASS) From: Heather Marx, Director of Downtown Mobility, Seattle Department of Transportation Date: December 31, 2019 RE: MASS priorities In December 2018, the Move All Seattle Sustainably (MASS) coalition requested action by the City of Seattle to prioritize efforts in 2019 that will keep buses movinG fast, enable a rapid shift to commute by bike, and make walkinG easy and safe. We agree with these goals as we work to keep people and Goods movinG durinG the 2018-2023 Seattle Squeeze, when construction will siGnificantly constrain our streets and impact all traveler movements. The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT)’s workplans include many of the hiGh-priority projects identified by MASS, with implementation planned in 2019 or over the next few years. Input from MASS and other transportation stakeholders can help inform implementation priorities, and we are lookinG forward to your input. You’ll hear from MeGhan Shepard ([email protected]) on my team in January to discuss next steps as continue to plan the implementation of these important projects. Keep Buses Moving Fast MASS provided a map and list of corridors where they recommend bus priority implementation. The followinG is a description of existinG and planned bus only lane projects in each identified corridor. Existing Bus Only Lanes The followinG identified corridors have existinG bus-only lanes. Potential future considerations and challenGes are listed for each location. • Aurora Ave N: Southbound direction has current 24/7 bus only lane. The northbound direction will have a bus-only lane added between Denny Way and John Street durinG the SR99 closure to help transit move through this intersection.

  • 2018Annual Report 0114 2018 (002).Pdf
    We are building a city of the future with fewer cars, more transit, and less climate pollution. The Levy to Move Seattle is critical in delivering on that shared vision for a world-class transportation system that connects people to jobs, training, school, health care, and opportunity, and provides safe options for driving, walking, and biking. We have a responsibility to deliver on our promises to voters for safer streets, better roads, and more reliable transit options. That’s why in 2018, I asked the Seattle Department of Transportation to ensure we have a realistic plan for delivering on our Move Seattle investments, and to listen to the community on the investments that are most important to them. Now, we have a blueprint and clear path forward for delivering on Move Seattle investments. This report shows that we are making progress on delivering on some of the promises made and better aligning projects with the resources we have. The City of Seattle will continue to be accountable and transparent, and we will continue to partner with community to keep building a city of the future. Jenny Durkan, Mayor I am pleased to present my first Move Seattle report as Director of SDOT. This report memorializes an important year and substantial work that was accomplished, both to deliver on Levy commitments and to evaluate the Levy overall, through the Move Seattle Assessment. At Mayor Durkan’s direction and with help from the Move Seattle Levy Oversight Committee, our modal advisory boards, and third-party consultants, SDOT carefully analyzed the Move Seattle Assessment and published the Updated Workplan Report that outlines a clear and measurable plan for the remaining years of the Levy.

  • Appendix C Part 1. Traffic Operations White Paper
    US 2 Westbound Trestle Alternatives Development and Traffic Evaluation Introduction Travel times for commuters using the US 2 westbound trestle are slow and unreliable during the morning commute period. Today’s trip across the westbound trestle includes congestion at the ends of the trestle during peak hours which impacts US 2. In addition, the structure itself is approaching the ends of its useful life. The purpose of the United States Highway Route 2 (US 2) Westbound Trestle Project is to develop a long‐term, fundable solution that, among other needs, improves travel reliability, improves safety, and provides improved system linkages to support regional and local planned growth. In 2016 the Washington State Legislature directed WSDOT to study potential improvements to the US 2/SR 204/20th Street SE interchange east of Everett. WSDOT used findings from the support team and public survey to develop an Interchange Justification Report (IJR), which was completed in April 2018. The IJR outlined a preliminary preferred alternative for the US 2/SR 204/20th Street SE interchange that included some primary assumptions about the US 2 westbound trestle that had not yet undergone full study or environmental analysis. In an effort to confirm the assumptions and provide a more system- level evaluation of the transportation system, this study was requested and funded by the Washington State Legislature. This phase of the US 2 Westbound Trestle Project begins the work to develop US 2 corridor concepts that meet the project needs. Additionally, the findings from this study are planned to be used for future environmental documentation and selection of a preferred alternative.
