SDOT Budgets The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) develops, maintains, and operates an $8 billion transportation system that promotes the mobility of people and goods, and enhances the quality of life, environment, and economy of Seattle. The major assets of the City's transportation system are: 3,931 paved line miles, 124 bridges, 586 retaining walls, 22 miles of seawalls, 1,000 signalized intersections, 32 miles of bike trails and 90 miles of bike routes, 30,000 street trees, 120 signs, 24,000 curb ramps and 1.6 million lane makers. The transportation infrastructure is valued at $7.6 billion.SDOT's 2005-2006 Proposed Budget is a basic services budget as no programs are being initiated. Many projects are being delayed, and programs and services reduced until the local economy improves and new additional transportation funding can be made available. However, the Department has been able to continue work on several large significant projects: - Fremont Bridge approaches under construction in 2005; - Lake City Way under construction in 2005; - Aurora Bus Rapid Transit project under design in 2005; and, - Continued City participation in the Monorail and Sound Transit implementation, and Alaskan Way Viaduct/Seawall, Spokane Street Viaduct, and Mercer Corridor planning. SDOT is also continuing with the Pay Station implementation project to purchase and install pay stations to replace approximately 85% of the single-space parking meters in the City between 2004 and 2006. This project will provide long-term parking management for the City and enhanced payment options for the public. 2005-2006 Proposed Budget, Transportation This link will take you to a PDF, Transportation information begins on the 23rd page of that file.
