From 520 to Wallingford: improving bicycle connections at the regional and local level

Monday, December 5th, 2011 by Tessa Greegor

As you may know, the 520 bridge is currently being rebuilt. But what you might not know is that we are faced with a unique opportunity to provide feedback on the design of the west approach in Seattle that will impact regional bike connectivity for generations to come.

The third SR 520 Seattle Community Design Process public session is scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 7 from 4 to 7 p.m. at MOHAI. If you haven’t been to the last two public open houses (view past meeting materials here), or even if you have, we strongly encourage you attend this one. You will have the opportunity to learn about and provide input on new design alternatives that have the potential to significantly improve bicycle and pedestrian connectivity and safety where the bridge connects to Seattle.

One alternative, that we’re excited about, is a possible new configuration for 24th Ave E.

From the beginning, one of our primary concerns with the design of the SR 520 I-5 to Medina Preferred Alternative (PA) was the impact to 24th Ave E — which today functions as a key connection for bicycles and pedestrians crossing over SR 520. In the PA, 24th Ave E becomes a much higher volume corridor with complex intersections and turning movements, as this is where the new westbound SR 520 off-ramps will connect to the Seattle street grid. The SR 520 regional trail will face its first intersection at 24th Ave E as well, and for cyclists and pedestrians heading southbound on 24th Ave E, several lanes of traffic will need to be crossed at this intersection.

However, as we learned at our SR 520 design committee meeting on Tuesday, the configuration of this corridor is not set in stone, and if you attend the meeting on Dec. 7, you will hear about new alternatives to improve the connections for bicyclists and pedestrians at this location, along with other locations throughout the SR 520 westside project corridor.

One option that is being considered at 24th Ave E would bring the regional trail along with some of the general purpose travel lanes underneath 24th Ave E (rather than intersecting with 24th).  This would enable bikes and peds to continue along the trail without having to stop at 24th Ave E, while also reducing the number of travel lanes at the intersection of 24th Ave E and the SR 520 off-ramps. Under this alternative, trail users would still have the opportunity to access 24th Ave E from the SR 520 trail and would have fewer travel lanes to cross if traveling along 24th Ave E (design materials will be available at the meeting and on WSDOT’s website next week).

At the meeting, you will also learn about new traffic calming design strategies for Lake Washington Blvd., alternative designs for a nonmotorized path along the waterfront near Foster Island, as well as opportunities for improving bicycle and pedestrian connections along the 10th and Delmar Lid. If you can attend the meeting, come prepared to provide input on the new design alternatives and how you think the connections for bicyclists and pedestrians can be improved. We hope to see you there!

Meanwhile, on a more local front, the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) is hosting an open house to discuss the upcoming installation of the Wallingford neighborhood greenway. The open house will be held on Thursday, December 8th from 6 – 7:30 p.m. at the Hamilton International School. More Details Here. We are excited to see this project move forward for a number of reasons. It represents a successful story of a community (Wallingford) coming together to generate support and ultimately seek funding to improve walking, biking and the overall livability of the community. Backed by a Neighborhood Project Fund, the Wallingford neighborhood greenway will be installed on N/NE 44th and 43rd Streets between Latona and Stone Way, providing a traffic-calmed, family-friendly route that will improve access to key community destinations like the Wallingford Center, the Wallingford Playfield and two separate schools. The proposed project will include signs and pavement legends, crossing improvements for bicyclists and pedestrians and improved landscaping along the corridor.

One exciting treatment that has been proposed as part of the greenway project is a median island along Stone Way at 43rd – this would provide a refuge for bicyclists and pedestrians crossing Stone Way, but would restrict  motorist left-turning movements from Stone Way to 43rd and from 43rd to Stone Way.  This would effectively reduce cut-through traffic on 43rd creating a low-volume, bicycle and pedestrian friendly route through Wallingford.

For more information about the Wallingford neighborhood greenway, read Seattle Bike Blog’s recent post, or to learn more about the neighborhood greenway movement, view our post from September about Portland’s successful network of neighborhood greenways and Seattle’s recent efforts toward this end.

Northgate… if you don’t live here now, you might in the future.

Friday, November 4th, 2011 by Tessa Greegor

The Northgate neighborhood is undergoing a significant transformation – both at the planning level and on the ground.  As one of six Urban Centers identified in the City of Seattle Comprehensive Plan, and an identified regional growth center, the Northgate neighborhood will be one of the most intensely developed neighborhoods in the city.

Before I scare you away with the mention of “intensive development”, you should know that you still have an opportunity to inform how this area develops.  With Sound Transit’s light rail moving full speed ahead to Northgate, Sound Transit, King County and the City of Seattle are very interested in your input. One upcoming opportunity to provide input is at Sound Transit’s Nov. 9 Northgate Station meeting.

The discussion at this meeting will focus on the 30% design plans for the Northgate Station, and there’s always an opportunity to discuss the importance of access to the station — particularly for bikes.  We urge you to bring this up; without community advocacy — your voice — we’re concerned that the Northgate area may continue to prioritize access for automobiles. There’s talk of a new parking garage — but little mention of bicycle improvements needed in the area.  We need your advocacy to ensure that bicycle access is a priority for all the agencies involved in the redevelopment of Northgate.

Now, if you fall in the category of readers who don’t currently live or work in the Northgate neighborhood and thus feel unaffected by what happens there, I would urge you to reconsider.  Here are a few reasons why you should care about the future of Northgate:

Reason 1:

Northgate is a regional growth center.  What does that mean?  It means you can expect to see significant growth in population and employment in the Northgate area in the coming years. As stated in the Northgate Urban Center Rezone FEIS:

“In 2003 the City adopted Resolution 30642 to “accomplish future steps for Northgate [including] economic development efforts, multi-family housing incentives, multi-modal transportation, pedestrian and open space improvements, integrated natural drainage strategies, sustainable design and green building, public art, planning for major commercial and multi-family residential development, and meaningful community involvement in these actions.” These steps have led to numerous new public and private development projects that are revitalizing the Northgate Urban Center. The City wants to ensure that recent momentum is sustained, that growth can be accommodated, and to achieve the overarching goal of the Northgate Area Comprehensive Plan (NACP), which is to “transform an auto-oriented landscape to a pedestrian friendly destination with densities to support transit.”

The takeaway: With significant employment and population growth slated for Northgate, it’s possible you might end up working or even living here someday.

Reason 2:

Sound Transit’s Northgate light rail station is opening in 2020. Now you might be thinking that’s wonderful for people who live there, but it won’t benefit me, when in fact, it just might.  For starters, more people will be taking transit, lots more.  The Northgate light rail station is projected to serve approximately 15,200 boardings a day in 2030!  Even if you don’t end up living or working in the Northgate area, there are regional implications of more people using transit — for instance improved air quality, improved health and quality of life, reduced congestion and improved commutes, and a better economy (as people shift from single occupancy driving to transit, they can save money – which means more money can filter back into the local economy).

The takeaway: If you’re invested in the future of Seattle, you should be invested in the future of Northgate.

Reason 3:

With light rail comes the opportunity to provide transit oriented development (TOD) and we’ll take that a step further to say trail oriented development (TrOD) as well.  TOD and TrOD has incredible potential to establish more sustainable communities where people can and do walk and bike, and of course take transit, to destinations.  Focused growth around transit stations, like the future Northgate light rail station, with connected bicycle and pedestrian networks, can effectively foster mode shift while creating more livable communities. And if you’re still not convinced about potential attractiveness of Northgate, did you know that it will only take 14 minutes by light rail to downtown Seattle? Not a bad commute if you ask me!

The takeaway: You may want to live here someday.

The major takeaway from all of this is that if you aren’t already, someday you may be affected by what happens at Northgate, and now’s your opportunity to have a voice in the matter.

Now that I’ve belabored the “why you should care” point, let’s consider how the bicycle can play into the future of Northgate.

The thought of bicycling to Northgate with the current infrastructure may not be the most attractive concept to many people.  For starters, it is divided by I-5 – a major impediment to east-west bicycle and pedestrian travel.  In addition to I-5, the Northgate center has historically been dominated by automobiles and auto-centric land use patterns.

While the bicycle has incredible potential to serve as a viable mode – not to mention healthy — to the Northgate urban center and light rail station, a connected network of safe bicycle facilities will be a necessary ingredient to realizing this potential.  By providing safe bicycle access to the Northgate station, the opportunity exists to reduce the demand for auto-centric land uses around the station, while generating additional ridership for both transit and bicycling.

If bicycling to Northgate is something that might appeal to you or someone you know, be sure to advocate for improved bicycle access to the station. For instance, you might encourage Sound Transit and King County to work with the city of Seattle to further implement the Bicycle Master Plan around the Northgate station. The maps below show the existing bicycle infrastructure and what a built-out bicycle master plan would mean for Northgate.

One option that’s on the table is a pedestrian/bicycle bridge over I-5. This is proposed in the Seattle Bicycle Master Plan and is currently being reviewed by King County.  The bridge would provide additional connectivity in an area that lacks bicycle and pedestrian connections – the following maps show how a 1-mile catchment area (walking or biking distance) from the Northgate light rail station would grow, given the development of this bridge. And keep in mind this is only 1 mile.

While there are several different plans that have been developed for the Northgate area, there are still opportunities to influence the future of Northgate, particularly as it pertains to the light rail.

We encourage you to participate in the upcoming Nov. 9 Northgate Station public meeting and voice your thoughts about the importance of bicycle access to and through the station area.  Feel free to provide specific information about how you would like to see the bicycle network developed in the Northgate area– for instance, would you like to see a pedestrian/bicycle overpass over I-5?

Meanwhile, you can always provide input through other ongoing public processes – for example, Seattle is in the process of updating their Comprehensive Plan – so is King County.  You can use these opportunities to stress the importance of bicycle access – be it to light rail, your place of work, or the store.

Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more opportunities to get involved!

This just in (well, sort of): Burien adopts Complete Streets!

Tuesday, November 1st, 2011 by Tessa Greegor

As our Communities Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW) efforts continue around King County, we are excited to announce a recent success from the City of Burien – the first of the six CPPW communities to put Complete Streets into law! CPPW – funded by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and ultimately Sea-KC Public Health – has effectively brought together local advocacy organizations, cities, private consultants, and community members – to focus on achieving common policy goals, like Complete Streets.

Here's an example of a Complete Street, that is designed to accommodate all roadway users. (Photo from Complete Streets photostream.)

On Oct. 3, the City of Burien, a CPPW community, adopted a Complete Streets ordinance—calling for inclusive transportation planning and projects.  From this point forward, transportation projects and plans in Burien will need to consider and accommodate all modes of transportation – bikes, pedestrians, transit, freight and automobiles. The adoption of this ordinance is a reflection of the dedication and commitment put forth by the City of Burien, key stakeholders and community members, and Sea-King County Public Health and the CDC.

It was less than a year ago that Cascade Bicycle Club conducted a Complete Streets training in Burien, and we’re happy to see the momentum that was carried forward by staff, community activists and the City Council to bring to fruition an adopted ordinance.  We look forward to seeing the transformation of Burien’s streets in the coming years, as a network of Complete Streets unfolds.

While Burien receives the spotlight for today, we haven’t forgotten the other CPPW communities, where Complete Streets ordinances are in the works – specifically Des Moines, Federal Way and Snoqualmie.  We anticipate a new batch of Complete Streets ordinances from these communities in the coming months.

Meanwhile, at the State level, HB 1071 (our first state-wide Complete Streets bill) was signed into law in May, creating a Complete Streets grant program within the state department of transportation.  The details of the funding behind this grant program are still being worked out, but in essence, it is designed to encourage local governments to adopt Complete Streets ordinances.  Under this program, jurisdictions with established Complete Streets ordinances will be eligible to apply for funding of Complete Streets projects.

Click to enlarge

So far, an impressive 15 jurisdictions (see map) in Washington state have adopted Complete Streets policies, and those with ordinances will be eligible for funding under HB 1071. So, if your community’s not on the map – and you’re wondering how to receive funding for multimodal projects, encourage your City Council to adopt a Complete Streets ordinance!  Here’s a comprehensive Complete Streets Guide with all the information you need to get you started.

All in all, 2011 has been a great year for Complete Streets: a National Safe and Complete Streets Act was introduced and continues to gain sponsorship in both chambers of Congress; the Washington State Legislature adopted HB 1071; and one-by-one communities in our own backyard are adopting Complete Streets ordinances.  Stay tuned as we report more successes from our partner CPPW cities!

Make it count

Thursday, September 22nd, 2011 by Tessa Greegor

The Fremont Bridge sees the most bicycle crossings of any bridge in the state. The count project helps us gather similar key data from across the state.

Ever wonder how many people bicycle or walk through a given intersection in your community?  Unfortunately, that data may not exist.  The solution: The Statewide Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project. For the fourth consecutive year, volunteers around the state will be collecting data about bicycling and walking along streets, trails and intersections around Washington.  Granted we won’t be counting at every possible location, but with over 200 count locations statewide, we’ll have a great snapshot of bicycling and walking in communities around Washington.

We’re working with the Washington State Department of Transportation and local jurisdictions around the state  to collect valuable data about bicycling and walking in 30 cities. However, this project would not happen without the incredible volunteer support around the state.  Last year, we had hundreds of volunteers who helped count. If you’re interested in volunteering, your two-hour commitment is invaluable to this data collection. Not to mention… it’s fun!  Kick back with a coffee and clipboard, relax, and observe people as they move through an intersection (and don’t forget to count them)! Sign up here.

This year, bike counts are taking place on Sept. 27, Sept. 28 and Sept. 29. And your help is needed! We have all the volunteers we need in Seattle, Spokane, Kirkland, Bothell, Shoreline, Redmond and Renton — thank you! But more volunteers are still needed in:

  • Bellevue
  • Bothell
  • Bremerton
  • Ellensburg
  • Ferndale
  • Issaquah
  • Kelso
  • Longview
  • Mercer Island
  • Mountlake Terrace
  • Oak Harbor
  • Olympia
  • Richland
  • Shoreline
  • Tacoma
  • Vancouver
  • Walla Walla
  • Yakima

While we’re doing well on volunteer recruitment, that’s a pretty big list where gaps in vital data collection are at risk. The Washington State Documentation Project is an important step toward improving our system for collecting and analyzing bicycle and pedestrian data. Ultimately, this data will play a valuable role in planning, designing and funding bicycle and pedestrian projects, and will help us understand the factors that influence the levels of bicycling and walking in our communities.

Being a bicyclist is not required to help with counts! Please, volunteer. And click that “share it” button below to urge your friends, colleagues and family members to help.

The deep bore tunnel will do what?!?

Sunday, August 7th, 2011 by Tessa Greegor

In case you haven’t had the opportunity to read any of the articles highlighting WSDOT’s data from the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) (here, here,here and so on), we’ll provide our own “brief” take of the recently released FEIS with an emphasis on why the bored-tunnel project doesn’t improve conditions for bicyclists – hence our position on Referendum 1.  More specifically, I will illustrate how the bored-tunnel makes bicycling less safe and desirable in Seattle, reduces transit performance, puts more traffic on Seattle’s waterfront, and at $3+ billion, makes investments in bicycling, walking and transit and unlikely reality. But before we get into the wonky data, let’s take a step back and look at the bigger picture.

Get a cup of coffee and read on.

Do you combine bicycling with transit?

Monday, June 20th, 2011 by Tessa Greegor

If so, Sound Transit wants to hear from you! The agency is in the process of developing educational materials to encourage bicyclists to integrate bicycling with transit. They will be conducting brief phone interviews to learn from bicyclists who currently use transit about their commute habits and key considerations for integrating these modes.

If you’re willing to participate in a brief phone interview, please let Rebecca Roush of Sound Transit know.

Completing the streets, one community at a time

Tuesday, February 1st, 2011 by Tessa Greegor

Imagining Sand Point Way in Seattle as a Complete Street

The Cascade advocacy team has been on the road over the past couple weeks conducting half-day workshops in communities around south and east King County on Complete Streets.  So far, we’ve been to Snoqualmie, Federal Way, Des Moines and Burien, with upcoming workshops in SeaTac and Kent.  In each of the cities, the workshops have been met with optimism and enthusiasm about the concept of Complete Streets. Trainings have been well attended, with participation from key city staff, city council members, and local bicycle and pedestrian advocates.  We look forward to continuing to collaborate as these cities pursue the adoption of a Complete Streets policy or ordinance.

Our work has been motivated by two driving factors.  First, in August we received funding through Public Health – Seattle & King County as part of the Communities Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW) grant, to work with six jurisdictions in south and east King County to provide guidance on the development and adoption of policies, like Complete Streets, that support active transportation.  The funding has allowed us to devote time and resources to producing user guides and conducting trainings in each community to achieve these goals.  The second driving factor behind our work is the overall importance of Complete Streets in our communities.

Complete Streets can help cities begin to address deficiencies in their transportation systems that have historically been designed around the automobile.  With streets comprising up to one-third of a community’s land, the opportunity exists to activate these public spaces in ways that serve multiple purposes and multiple modes of transportation.  With nearly one-third of the population considered ‘non-drivers,’ and even more who would prefer not to drive, there is significant demand for cities to provide safe and efficient alternatives to driving.  Moreover, as the demographics of our communities shift over the next 25 years, the number of people over age 65 is projected to increase by 80 percent– placing even greater demand on the provision of transportation options within communities.

In addition to providing transportation options for people, public health is at the heart of the Complete Streets movement and CPPW.  The design of our communities plays a critical role in the choices that we make, such as how we get around, which ultimately influences our health and well-being.  In places where people have more diverse transportation options (transit, bicycle and pedestrian networks) people are more likely to use active modes of transportation and ultimately more likely to meet the recommended levels of physical activity.

Seattle Bicycle Facilities and Downtown Counts (1992 - 2009)

Becoming a Complete Streets community pays off.  Cities that have invested in their bicycle, pedestrian and transit networks have in turn experienced growth in the number of people choosing these modes of transportation.  For example, between 1992 and 2009, Seattle’s downtown bicycle counts increased by 136 percent; between these same years, the city expanded the bicycle network significantly (see image).

In addition to the reasons listed above, Complete Streets is about reducing our environmental footprint, supporting local economies, improving quality of life, and designing communities and public streets around the people that live there.

In Washington state, 11 communities have adopted a Complete Streets policy or ordinance, from the 10,000-resident town of Sedro-Woolley to Kirkland to Seattle.  Pierce County is setting the bar high as the first and only county in Washington to have a county-wide policy.  As we continue our work under the CPPW grant, we hope to see six additional Complete Streets communities in the coming year.

Countdown to counts — October 5, 6 and 7!

Thursday, September 30th, 2010 by Tessa Greegor

I love to count bicycles!

With only five days to go, we’re still desperately short of count volunteers in a few key cities — Yakima, Wenatchee, Tukwila, Ellensburg, and Mercer Island.  We still need a few volunteers in Walla Walla, Richland, Everett, Vancouver, Mountlake Terrace and south Seattle as well.

If you’re available to count in the cities listed above between 7 – 9 a.m. or 4 – 6 p.m., please register as a volunteer here.  Don’t fear, if you have issues with registering (and some have), contact Tessa (that’s me) and I’ll work it out.

Washington State Bicycle and Pedestrian Count Details

Ever wonder how many people bicycle or walk through a given intersection in your community?  Unfortunately, that data may not exist.  That is, until now.  The solution: The Statewide Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project.

Calling all SODO bicycle commuters

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010 by Tessa Greegor

Do you commute to, through or from SODO?  If so, we need your input.

As part of a federal grant, Cascade Bicycle Club is working with the Duwamish Transportation Management Association and Feet First to identify nonmotorized issues and develop recommendations focused on improving nonmotorized commuting in four Duwamish communities: South Park, SODO, Georgetown and N. Tukwila.  We successfully completed our work in South Park, and thank you to those who provided valuable input.  We’re hopeful that the next phase of funding for this project will focus on implementing the recommendations we are in the process of developing.

We are currently working in SODO, and are interested in your input on the following:

1) If you commute to, through or from SODO, what is your route (specifically through SODO)?

2) Are there barriers to bicycle commuting through SODO?  If so, what are the main issues?

3) Have you combined bicycling with light rail in SODO?  If so, do you have any concerns about bicycling to and from the light rail station?

4) Last but not least, what are your top three recommendations for improving bicycle commuting in SODO?

Your feedback is an extremely valuable part of our final recommendations. Please send any thoughts or responses to the above questions to Tessa Greegor.

How bike-friendly are the Puget Sound region’s top 10 cities?

Monday, August 16th, 2010 by Tessa Greegor

In 2009, we produced the Report Card on Bicycling in Seattle. At the time, we were interested in measuring two things:  1) Seattle’s progress toward implementation of the Seattle Bicycle Master Plan, and 2) The bicycling public’s perception of Seattle’s bike-friendliness.  By our metrics, Seattle received a “B” GPA.

This year, we were interested in looking at bike-friendliness beyond Seattle.  We wanted to know if, and to what extent, cities around the central Puget Sound region were planning for and supporting bicycling.  This time around, we took a different approach to evaluating the cities – rather than surveying the public, we surveyed those responsible for developing plans and policies that influence bicycling.  The product of this effort is the Puget Sound Bicycle Scorecard: an evaluation of the ten largest cities in the central Puget Sound region (excluding Seattle), and their respective bicycle-related plans, policies, data-collection efforts, and other city-wide provisions.

So, you might be thinking… yeah, yeah, cut to the chase…which city received the best score?

The short answer is that we didn’t exactly rank the cities, but rather highlighted the types of things cities are doing to integrate bicycling into city-planning efforts and identified where the gaps are.  For instance, we wanted to know which cities have Complete Streets ordinances, and which are working toward adoption of a Complete Streets ordinance or resolution.  Our findings:  five cities have adopted a Complete Streets ordinance or resolution, and two are working in that direction.

Some other interesting findings: Only three of the 10 surveyed cities have bicycle parking ordinances (Kirkland, Redmond, & Renton). Bicycle parking ordinances are important to ensure that bicycle parking is integrated into developments, such as at institutions and multi-family housing developments.  It goes without saying, but quality bicycle parking  is key to encouraging bicycle commuting.

We also wanted to know which cities have a “stand-alone” bicycle plan.  Developing a stand-alone plan, such as the Seattle Bicycle Master Plan, is an important undertaking for cities as they seek to increase bicycling.  Developing this type of plan goes above and beyond the level of nonmotorized planning required of cities under the Washington State Growth Management Act.  Not only is this type of planning important for engaging the community in a process that identifies a vision for the bicycling future of that city, but it also helps to get projects funded and constructed.  What we found: more than half of the cities have stand-alone bicycle plans, or are in the process of developing one. From our perspective, these were positive results.

We also noticed a slight trend (and by no means a scientifically proven correlation): the cities that responded “yes” to a higher number of Scorecard categories also tended to have higher percentages of bicycle commuters and lower bicycle crash rates.

We could go on about the findings; however, we’d prefer that you to read the Puget Sound Bicycle Scorecard and draw your own conclusions.  Overall, we found this to be an eye-opening undertaking, and one that will prove valuable in our efforts to engage with these communities to advocate for the types of policies, plans and programs that will allow bicycling to become a viable and attractive mode of transportation and recreation in every city.
