Theme: Neighborhood Green Streets connectingparks, schools, and trails

The Seattle Childrens

Livable Streets Initiativeproposes to partner withthe Seattle Departmentof Transportation and ourneighborhood sponsors

to build a NeighborhoodGreen Street on one ofthese corridors toconnect the Burke-Gilman Trail, schools,parks, and other existingbicycle and walkingfacilities. This will alsoinclude elements of a

high-quality bicycleboulevard as specified inSeattles Bicycle Master

Plan.

1. What is a Neighborhood Green Street?

Neighborhood Green Streets are residential streets improved to make allpeople feel comfortable walking, biking, or playing.

Drivers can still pass through, but traffic moves at slower speeds. Thesetraffic calming elements of Neighborhood Green Streets encouragepeople 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.

Theme:Improved access to the Burke-Gilman Trail

The Burke-Gilman Trail isan invaluable asset fortransportation andrecreation in NortheastSeattle. SeattleChildrens Livable Streets

Initiative proposes tobuild projects that helppeople reach the Trail by

bicycle and on foot,extending the reach andbenefit of this facility andknitting togetherNortheast Seattleneighborhoods.

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

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

Dedicating one traffic lane to two-way bicycle traffic andpedestrians would fill this missing link. Example: Separated two-way bike lane

in Montreal. Photo: BikePortland.org

2. Ravenna Pl NE & NE 55th St:Intersection redesign, to be built in 2011

SDOT will redesign the intersection at Ravenna Pl,

Ravenna Ave, and NE 55th St. Slowing speeds andreducing cut-through traffic turning south-bound ontoRavenna Pl would make the crossing safer and morepredictable for people on foot and bike.

3. NE 50th Street and 40th Ave NE:Sidewalks to Sand Point Way NE

This street is missing sidewalk segments on bothsides, creating a dangerous and unappealingpedestrian environment. Completing sidewalks could

improve the walk from the Burke-Gilman Trail.

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

The existing gravel path at Princeton Ave and the Burke-Gilman Trailcould be paved and graded to minimize vegetation transplanting andprovide an accessible route from the trail to the bus stop, business

area and surrounding neighborhood. An existing cross walk andsignal is located at Sand Point Way. Princeton is targeted forsidewalks in the Pedestrian Master Plan.

Currently, the only way toreach the Trail here is viathese stairs or a dirt path.

Theme:Safe crossings of major arterials

In Childrens

neighborhood, SandPoint Way NE and NE45th St representphysical and mentalbarriers to people on

foot and bicycle. SeattleChildrens Livable

A new traffic signal and carefully redesignedintersection at 40th & Sand Point Way would makea better and safer experience for people crossingthe street, getting to the Burke-Gilman Trail, orreaching their bus stop

9. NE 45th Street from 40th Ave NE to 47th Ave NE:Crosswalks and Curb bulbs

High vehicle speeds and elevation changes thatblock views on NE 45th St make it difficult forpedestrians to cross. Adding crosswalks and

curb bulbs to shorten crossing distances andimprove sight lines between drivers and peopleon foot could improve safety and predictability.

The hill at the intersection with 43rd Ave NEmakes it more difficult for pedestrians anddrivers to see each other. A curb bulb here

would shorten the total crossing distancefor people on foot and improve sight lineswith vehicles.

004-002 A really simple thing that could be done is to put an indicator (like a light) that isvisible to the rider that lets them know the signal has been triggered. Put it in the

same pole as the walkers button. The walkers get such an indicator on many newintersections, one for cyclists would be great too. A good example of anintersection that could use this feature is the one at 20th Ave NE and NE 65thStreet. This should be very inexpensive to implement and I believe would helpkeep cyclists from giving up on waiting for the green light and running it insteadsince they have no way of knowing if the darn light is ever going to change.Simple idea, its inexpensive, and improves safety

Luke Rogers

Install an indicator that is visible to bike riders that lets them know the smartsignal has been triggered (like the LED on newer crosswalk buttons) on

intersections like 20th Ave NE and NE 65th St.

004-001 Heres an idea for improving bike transportation and safety. As a daily bicycle

commuter I see dozens of cyclists run red lights and stop signs each week. Atleast some of the time those running red lights are doing so because the light

simply wont change for cyclists even when they roll over or otherwise attemptto trigger the signal using the while T in the street. Some intersections are

better than others but those cyclist triggers are not reliable and as a cyclist youhave no way of knowing if you have triggered the signal to change.

007-001 Im contacting your regarding a project at the 24th Ave. Street End. Located in

Ballard, the project will add green infrastructure stormwater treatment that linksMarket Ave. with the waterfront on 24th Ave. The project also seeks to developthe green infrastructure with educational programs that will offer opportuntiesfor children to learn about the complex issues surrounding the region'sstormwater with a walkable urban link that connects the heart of Ballard with thewaterfront. The project intersects the proposed "Missing Link" bicycle path andwe're working with Ballard's Bike Share Group to install a bike station at thepedestrian link (http://www.ballardnewstribune.com/2010/10/14/news/group-working-bring-bike-share-program-ballard). I've attached a board that explainsmore about the project with maps of the area.The green infrastructure treatment was imagined during facilitated sessions withSustainable Ballard in 2007 and would convert areas of the street end and st reetedge into excavated bioswale gardens. We are working with Seattle Parks,schools, and non-profit groups to install an innovative street edge treatment thatwould break down petroleum contaminants carried by stormwater on streetsurfaces using mushroom mycelium planted in the soil. Additionally, thegardens would slow the flow of water and divert rain water away from industrialproperties.Our goal is to raise additional funding for this pilot project which will cover

costs for the children educational program for implementation of the thebioswale treatment. We respectfully request that you help us reach our goal byproviding a donation. The project will significantly impact the waterway byoffering solutions to mitigate contaminants carried by stormwater and protectinga watershed where young salmon have been identified while serving as aneducational showcase and prototype for other projects in the area. The projectalsoSeattle Parks has prioritized the project to receive a $200,000 grant from theSeattle Parks Levy Opportunity (SPLO) funds for development next year.Please refer to the link below for the SPLO grant. Construction will beginduring Spring 2010:http://www.cityofseattle.net/parks/levy/opportunity/draft_final_list.pdfWe ask to start a dialogue with the Livable Streets about future collaboration

with the project and identifying additional funding to execute an innovativeproject that will serve as a model for low impact development . Id be happy to

meet at your convenience to further discuss the project. Please let me know yourthoughts.Thank you in advance for your dedication to ecologically enhance Puget Soundregion with improved pedestrian and bicycle safety

001-001 We are often asked about walking between the hospital and University Village inFamily Resource Center, sometimes by parents who have already tried and failedto 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 mostlya very pleasant and relaxing amble, but in places it's intimidating anduncomfortable. For those who don't know what's on the other side, these badspots are real barriers. Please consider these 2 or 3 bits of sidewalk that wouldmake a real difference for some families at the hospitals, and some of thehospital's neighbors.

There is a good crossing at the Burke-Gilman trail But first, you haveto 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-speedvehicle is clearly indicated, while the pedestrian path from NE 50th to the BGTis unmarked, unpaved, and generally well hidden.

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

001-003 Here, we are farther west, on the south side of NE 5oth between University ViewPlace and 30th Ave NE, looking East. walking from the hospital, weve had nice

sidewalks for seven blocks. After that, the concrete ends but the right of way isstill mostly there. But after University View Place, its all parked cars, ruts,

gravel and stones. It drives you into the street, which is fairly narrow (see theHonda Element for scale). There is a nice sidewalk on the other side, but it leadsaway from the University Village, and the crossing to it is often blocked byparked cars.[Photo 001-B]

001-002 This is the intersection of NE 50th and 40th NE. The problem here is where tostand while waiting to cross the street. The north side of the street offers parkedcars and mud. At the northern corner, signs and trees hide you and parked carsblock your view. The southern corner, marked in the photo, provides better sightlines, is under a street light, and i t puts you on the same side of 50th as the stairsand 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 radiusof 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 walkthan is necessary.[Photo 001-A]

009-001 I'm writing to let you know that your project for improved ADA access to theBurke-Gilman trail at the Princeton Street bridge is problematic and should notbe done as suggested in the booklet Children's staff prepared for the LiveableStreets workshop. The images in the booklet were quite disturbing because theyshow destruction of a large natural area. As shown the project would do muchmore 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 thatChildren's staff prepared the booklet, before the first Liveable Streets sessionheld on November 6. The image of a biker on the steps in the document indicateunfamiliarity with the location and is misleading because the biker is shownawkwardly handling the bike and not using the bike ramp at the side of thesteps. That European style bike ramp was installed at community request whenthe bridge was rebuilt in 2002 and provides a good means for walking bikes upor down along the side of the steps. Native vegetation at this spot has been betterthan many areas adjacent to the trail for a long time. Back in the early 1990'swhen the Burke Gilman Trail Vegetation Management Plan was being developedCity Foresters praised the quality of the spot at a public meeting held there. Afterbridge construction in 2002, the native vegetation was further improved byadditional plantings. Since then many people have worked at stewarding the

native vegetation at this site. Within the past three or four years alone hundredsand perhaps as many as a thousand people including neighbors, people fromcommunity groups, and others, have worked at stewarding and improving thenative vegetation in the mile and a half of trail south of NE 65th Street includingthe area near the bridge. The design shown at the workshop looked as if itwould be quite expensive to build due to the amount of engineering, grading,and concrete work which would be required on the slope. In additionmaintenance costs for ramps at this location may be higher than most locationsdue to potential need to remove leaf or vegetion litter from a ramp's surface toprevent it from becoming unsafely slippery. Surely there must be more efficientand effective ways to spend Liveable Streets funds.Improving ADA access to and from the trail at 45th Avenue NE which is alreadybe 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 thisroute would be gradual and within ADA standards. Improving ADA access at45th Avenue NE seems a much better project with lower cost, fewer if anynegatives, and a higher benefit to cost ratio.

Thomas Kelly

Do not build ADA access to Burke-Gilman Trail at the Princeton St Bridge.Improving ADA access to and from the trail at 45th Ave NE would be a muchbetter project with lower cost, fewer negatives, and a higher benefit-to-cost ratio.

011-001 Since Childrens began to charge for offsite parking at Magnusson, Church

Archives and 70th, increasingly employees are parking along Sandpoint Wayand hopping on the 75. No problem except where Sandpoint turns into a 2 laneresidential road (north of NOAA). Now several of the bus stops are beingdiscontinued such as the ones at the entrance to Matthews Beach Park. The

result is that people have to walk a dangerous path to get to the remaining busstops, 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 growingout toward the road. Please address this as the situation will get worse asChildrens expands. Could we have some off-site parking somewhere else

besides Sandpoint Way say along Lake City Way for people coming in fromLynnwood and Everett and shuttle people in from another direction?
