State of the Pedestrian Environment Report

The goal of Seattle’s Pedestrian Master Plan is to get more people walking, to reduce the number and severity of crashes involving pedestrians, and to engage the people of Seattle in developing solutions. The State of the Pedestrian Environment Report provides an overview of existing opportunities and constraints to walking along and across roadways in Seattle, and sets the stage for subsequent tasks that will include a more in-depth analysis and recommendations for areas such as funding, education, and encouragement. Since walking conditions in Seattle are constantly changing, this report provides a snapshot from spring 2008. It is intended to be a brief synopsis that focuses on general themes and consistent issues as observed throughout the City by the project team.
