130th and 145th Street Station Multimodal Access Plan |
9) Jackson Park Trail Improvements
Background
- Through the community engagement process, community members expressed a strong desire to improve connections for people walking and biking from neighborhoods on the east side of Jackson Park to the NE 130th St Station.
- Improving connections along the south side of Jackson Park enhances equitable access to the NE 130th St Station. The east side of the Jackson Park is home to more low-income residents and residents of color than other neighborhoods in the study area. Although everyone benefits from public transportation, transportation costs can create disproportionate cost burden for people with lower incomes.
- Additionally, improving the Jackson Park Trail provides improved access for people walking and biking to the North Seattle Church of Nazarene, Jackson Park Golf Course, and Thornton Creek Park.
