Arterial Safety Improvements
These projects make changes to arterial streets to improve their overall safety, while maximizing mobility and minimizing access restrictions. These improvements are intended to improve the safety not only of motorists, but of other street users such as bicyclists and pedestrians.

Bicycle Improvements and Pedestrian/Bike Trails
SDOT's Bicycle Program has been working steadily toward developing an urban trail system to accommodate bicyclists. Urban trails include shared use paths, bike lanes, signed bike routes, arterials with wide shoulders, and pedestrian pathways. The Bicycle Spot Improvement Program makes low cost improvements to the existing street system to enhance bicycle safety and convenience.

Interurban Trail
Seattle's segment of this regional trail will run for approximately one mile in the City Light power line corridor just west of Evergreen-Washelli Cemetery between North 110th Street and 128th Street. Future improvements are planned for Linden Avenue to link the Seattle and Shoreline sections of the trail, including the installation of a traffic signal at Linden Avenue North and North 145th to facilitate pedestrian and bicycle crossings.

This project constructs a critical missing link in Seattle’s Urban Trails System. Once completed, the Ship Canal Trail will make it possible to bicycle from Redmond to downtown Seattle almost entirely on dedicated bicycle facilities.

Pedestrian Improvements
(For Pedestrian/Bicycle Trails, see the “Bicycle” section.)

Seattle Transportation's Pedestrian Program works to improve pedestrian safety and to encourage more walking by providing the facilities needed to walk comfortably. To accomplish this, we build accessible sidewalk curb ramps; install and maintain school-crossing signs, marked crosswalks, and pedestrian-crossing signs; and construct curb bulbs and crossing islands at pedestrian-crossing locations.

Street Resurfacing

Each year, the City of Seattle allocates funds for arterial paving and resurfacing. The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) manages this and other street maintenance programs. SDOT also monitors the conditions of city streets and selects the streets to be paved.

The larger part of the arterial paving funds is used for work bid out to private contractors. In addition to the work performed by private contractors, SDOT's own street-paving crews perform small spot-paving projects on arterial streets.

In addition to the streets included in Seattle Department of Transportation's annual paving program, some streets are paved as part of projects that include general street improvements.
