The city is seeking input on where to construct a
neighborhood greenway in the Olympic Hills neighborhood with the ultimate goal of creating a network.
Initial review identifies 27th Avenue NE as a possible location but over the next six months staff will meet with community members to discuss the best route, what type of traffic calming improvements might be useful and develop a design. Improvements may include:
- Wayfinding signs, 20 mph speed limit signs and neighborhood greenway signs and
bicycle pavement markings
- Speed humps or traffic circles to help lower speeds
- New stop signs to control traffic crossing the greenway
- ADA ramps, crosswalks and
crossbikes
- Bicycle parking at destinations along or near the route
Project Schedule:
June 2013: Public Meeting
Fall/Winter 2013: Meetings with community groups and preliminary design
Winter 2014: Final design and 2nd public meeting
TBD: Construction will happen as funding is identified
