23rd Ave Corridor

Thank you for joining us!

On March 2nd, 2013 SDOT launched a public engagement process and invited community members to provide feedback on the early design features of the proposed 23rd Ave Corridor project. We want to thank everyone who was able to join us! We received many comments from the meeting and are now in the process of compiling all of the feedback we’ve heard into an initial report.

If you did not have an opportunity to be at the meeting it’s not too late! Please email Maribel Cruz, the project’s Communication Lead and let us know what you think. We will take comments through March 31st, 2013.
Material from the open house can be found below:

SDOT will continue to work with local government, institutions, community groups and businesses, as well as transportation agencies and nearby neighbors about next steps for the design of this critical corridor.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Project Location/Description

The scope of work for the 23rd Ave Corridor, which originally began as a repaving project between E John Street and S Jackson Street, has recently been expanded through the acquisition of several grants for signals, paving, transit and pedestrian improvements.

The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) is completing the Complete Streets Checklist and going through a comprehensive re-evaluation of the corridor, including a traffic analysis, as well as evaluating elements from the Bike Master Plan, Pedestrian Master Plan, street lighting needs, sidewalk and transit improvements.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Design Elements/Objectives for the Corridor

  • Address transit
  • Address pedestrian safety/travel in the corridor
  • Address bicycle safety/travel in the corridor
  • Sustain a vibrant corridor by making 23rd Avenue a Complete Street through redevelopment of the roadway

Public Outreach

We plan to work closely throughout the project with local government, institutions, community groups and businesses, as well as transportation agencies and nearby neighbors, to gather information and help shape the final design of the corridor. SDOT plans to engage the public early on in this project to determine an equitable design solution for all modes of transportation. During design we plan to continue to provide information about the project to the public and keep neighbors engaged through regular e-mail updates. To join our e-mail list, send an e-mail to maribel.cruz@seattle.gov.
