130th and 145th Street Station Multimodal Access Plan |
4) 1st Ave NE Improvements (South of N 130th St)
Background
- The 1st Ave NE Improvements (south of N 130th St) provide a key north-south connection within a walkable and bikeable distance to the NE 130th St Station. These improvements connect to the NE 130th St Station via the N 130th St Corridor Improvements and the NE 130th St Overpass.
- The 1st Ave NE Improvements address community requests for walking and biking improvements along 1st Ave NE.
- At the south end of 1st Ave NE, the project completes a connection between the funded Ashworth Ave neighborhood greenway and the N 117th St bridge over I-5. Additionally, the project builds on funded sidewalk construction along N 117th St between Meridian Ave N and 1st Ave NE.
- The segment is shown in the Seattle Bicycle Master Plan as a shared street; however, this designation is not considered an all ages and abilities facility. Upgrading the bicycle facility to a shared-use path would accommodate people of all ages and abilities.
- The project also proposes improving sidewalks identified in the Pedestrian Master Plan Priority Investment Network.
- The project provides improved access for people walking and biking to the Northgate Elementary School, Northgate Boys & Girls Club, Peace of Christ Korean Community Church, and Northacres Park.
