Seattle’s first Pedestrian Master Plan
Last month, the Seattle City Council’s Joint Pedestrian Safety and Transportation Committee got a look at the recommendations for Seattle’s first Pedestrian Master Plan.
You may remember that in 2007, as Council President I created a Special Committee on Pedestrian Safety. The Pedestrian Master Plan Advisory Group, known as PMPAG, was convened by this new Council Pedestrian Safety Committee. The PMPAG vision - and mine too - is that Seattle become a "walking city" and recognizes that as we grow, people will walk in ever-increasing numbers. To be a "walking city" we must make walking safer. I am committed to finding the funding to implement this plan after the Council approves it.
The draft Pedestrian Master Plan is available on-line.
