Improved Access to the Burke-Gilman Trail

Safe Crossings of Major Arterials

Make Traffic Flow More Efficiently

As part of the Seattle Children’s Major Institution Master Plan, Children’s has committed to spend nearly $4 million on transportation improvements in NE Seattle. Improvements include:

Bike and pedestrian improvements, like better access to the Burke Gilman Trail and other ways to improve local streets so people of all ages and ability feel safe biking and walking

Intelligent Transportation Systems that use technology to give drivers more information

Corridor improvements that increase safety for all users

Seattle Children’s kicked off the Livable Streets Initiative in 2010 with the goal of working with our community to develop a package of projects to improve mobility, safety, and livability in NE Seattle.

In addition to the projects paid for directly by the LSI fund, the LSI Initiative includes several transportation improvement projects funded through the Children’s Hospital campus development. These projects include a new cycle-track on Sand Point Way adjacent to the hospital (see project LS-CT) and a new signalized intersection of 40th Ave NE and Sand Point Way (see project LS-8). A connection to the Burke-Gilman Trail across the Hartmann property (a Seattle Children’s-owned property across Sand Point Way from the hospital) is also planned.

The Seattle Children’s Livable Streets Initiative proposes to partner with the Seattle Department of Trans-portation and our neighbor-hood sponsors to build a Neighborhood Greenway on one of these corridors to connect the Burke-Gilman Trail, schools, parks, and other existing bicycle and walking facilities.

39th Ave NE was selected as the first neighborhood greenway in a future network that will achieve goals of improving mobility and safety for pedestrians and cyclists of all ages and abilities.

What is a Neighborhood Greenway?

10

Neighborhood Greenways 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-ways encourage people of all ages and abilities to spend time outdoors in their community. In addition, the design features can include planters that serve to provide natural stormwater drainage and greenscapes.

LS-1: 39th Ave NE Neighborhood Greenway

10

Proposed Improvements:Seattle Children’s Livable Streets Initiative envisions a network of Neighborhood Greenways in NE Seattle. These low-speed residential streets will be improved to make it more comfortable for people to walk and bicycle. A Neighborhood Greenway on 39th Ave NE would support key Livable Streets themes by connecting the Burke-Gilman Trail to residential neighborhoods, schools and parks. In fact, this street is already used by students at Thornton Creek Elementary for a weekly bike train to school.

Potential benefits of a Neighborhood Greenway for residents include:

• Reduce cut-through vehicle traffic• Reduce speeding• Improve safety for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists• Keep traffic volume at or below today’s levels• Provide an inviting outdoor community space• Create an attractive walking and biking route for

people of all ages and abilities to get to schools, parks, and trails

Theme: Improved Access to the Burke-Gilman Trail

10

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

What is the Burke-Gilman Trail?

The Burke-Gilman Trail is a more than 18 mile flat and fully-separated and bicyle and pedestrian trail that runs from Shilshole Bay in Ballard through the Universtiy of Washington Campus to Bothell where it turns into the Sammamish River Trail and continues on to Redmond. The trail follows a historic railroad route and offers a flat, scenic, and safe connection to destinations as close as the University District and Magnuson Park or as far as Ballard, Woodinville, and beyond.

LS-3: NE 50th St Sidewalk and Arterial Crossing

10

NPFLSW

Image: GoogleMaps

NE 50th Street is missing sidewalk segments on both sides, creating an opportunity to improve the pedestrian environment. Complet-ing sidewalks and improving the crossing at 40th Ave NE would make the walk from the Burke-Gilman Trail easier and safer.

Photo:

This intersection at NE 50th St and 40th Ave NE has long crossings, and the slope of 40th Avenue NE makes it difficult for pedestrians and bicyclists to be seen by driv-ers. Redesigning this intersection with curb bulbs and crosswalks would shorten the crossing distance and improve sight lines.

Theme: Safe Crossings of Major Arterials

10

In NE Seattle, arterials such as Sand Point Way NE and NE 45th St represent physi-cal 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.

NE Seattle Arterials

Arterials provide a fast way for cars, trucks, and buses to move within the city and region, but also create signifi-cant barriers for pedestrians and cyclists. It is usually difficult to cross higher-speed principal and minor arterials unless a signal stops traffic to provide a safe opportunity to cross (all intersections are legal crosswalks in Seattle but safety and compliance by motorists can be issues). The Livable Streets Initiative seeks to improve pedestrian and bicycle crossings across these arterials to reconnect neighborhoods.

Sand Point Way NE creates a barrier and safety issue in this part of the neighborhood. Currently people wishing to access parks, schools, and shopping on the other side of the arterial must cross four lanes of high-speed traffic with no signal or other crossing treatments. A center median provides a stopping point but is insufficient for a safe cross-ing.

A signal at NE 52nd St & Sand Point Way NE would help people walk and bike between the neigh-borhoods, the Burke-Gilman Trail, Laurelhurst Elementary, and the parks.

Theme: Make Traffic Flow More Efficiently

10

In addition to an aggressive program to reduce vehicle travel to and from its campus, Children’s is investing in cutting-edge technology and new proj-ects to make traffic flow more efficiently through the major corridors that lead to the hospital.

What is ITS?

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are technologies and opera-tions strategies that improve the flow of traffic without the expense and disruption of expanding roadways. ITS technology can also be installed quickly, providing immediate results.

Arterial ITS treatments include elements like traffic data collectors, traffic cameras, variable message signs, ramp meters, signal synchro-nization, and traffic management centers.

Magnetometer

LS-ITS: Intelligent Transportation Systems ConceptConceptChildren’s is investing $0.5 million in ITS projects to make traffic on NE Seattle major arterials flow more efficiently.

The targeted corridors for ITS treat-ments are Sand Point Way NE, Montlake Blvd NE, and NE 45th St between Seattle Children’s and I-5 / SR-520. Projects will improve trav-eler information and provide faster, safer, and smoother travel for vehicles and transit.

Traveler InformationUsing information from traffic cameras and pavement sensors, travel times for these two routes will be posted on the existing City of Seattle Travelers’ Information Map as well as a new Dynamic Messaging Sign located near the NE 45th St/Union Bay Pl NE intersection. Montlake Bridge opening status will also be shown on the new Dynamic Messaging Sign. Improved traveler information will help reduce congestion by allowing drivers to avoid traffic jams and openings of the Montlake Bridge

New congestion information

ooon on New traffic sensorsffic sensoaffiaaNew traN

The first step in improving traveller information and actively managing traffic along the ITS corridor arterials is collecting data about what is happening on the roads. Seattle Children’s ITS projects will include new traffic sensors embedded in the road that will tie into existing citywide ITS infrastructure and provide real-time traffic information to overhead signs and online traffic maps.

Data Collection

ProjectProject

As part of the Children’s expansion project, a new traffic signal will be installed at the intersec-tion of 40th Ave NE and Sandpoint Way NE. This signal, along with the existing signal at Seattle Children’s hospital will be tied into the existing network of signals from the Sandpoint Way NE/ NE 45th St intersection to SR-520. This will allow signal coordination along the entire corridor and, by using congestion information provided by Montlake bridge status and the magnetom-eters, will allow traffic-responsive signal timing that changes according to current traffic condi-tions.

The Building Hope Seattle Children’s hospital expansion will create a second entrance to the hospital campus off of 40th Ave NE south of Sand Point Way NE. To accommodate safe access to this entrance from Sand Point Way NE and 40th Ave NE, Seattle Children’s is funding the construction of a new signalized intersec-tion with left-turn arrows, pedestrian crosswalks, and a crossbike (a dedicated portion of the crosswalk for bicycles).

The end result of this project will be a safer and more predictable intersection for all users, with improved connectivity across Sand Point Way.

LS-8: 40th Ave NE & Sand Point Way NE Intersection

Current Conditions:Current conditions at this intersection create difficult manuevers for all users. Drivers attempting to travel north-south on 40th Ave NE have to make a two-stage turn by taking a left then a right from the turning lane. Transit stops are located on Sand Point Way on either side of this intersection but there is currently no pedestrian crossing. Many pedestri-ans jay-walk across five lanes of traffic to catch their bus.

Proposed Improvements:New traffic signal with countdown timer for pedestrians, pedes-trian pushbutton, as well as a demonstration project for video detection technology that will extend the pedestrian cycle for slow moving walkers and shorten it if pedestrians or cyclists clear the intersection more quickly.

The proposed design calls for a corner to corner crosswalk, allowing pedestrians to cross the intersection diagonally, signfi-cantly reducing the crossing distance and time.

To deal with the unusual geometry of this intersection, the signal will operate as a ‘hybrid’ scramble. In this type of operation, all vehicular traffic will stop for a pedestrian/bicycle phase. This will make pedestrian and bicycle crossings more predictable, protected, and faster. Pedestrians and bikes will still use only the crosswalks, unlike a full scramble like on 1st Ave by Pike Place Market
