130th and 145th Street Station Multimodal Access Plan |
10) NE 145th St Crossings & Sidewalk Improvements (East of I-5)
Background
There are two significant projects planned for NE 145th St (east of I-5) by other agencies.
- Sound Transit is planning the State Route 522 Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project that will connect North Lake Washington communities to the 145th St Station. Buses will run approximately every 10 minutes. In Seattle, State Route 522 BRT will run along NE 145th St between 5th Ave NE and Lake City Way NE. Sound Transit plans to install new bus stops along NE 145th St (final stop locations have not been determined at this time) and will make sidewalk improvements near station locations on both the Seattle and Shoreline sides of NE 145th St.
- The City of Shoreline is planning to construct a roundabout at NE 145th St and 5th Ave NE and will include crossing improvements for bikes and pedestrians.
SDOT will coordinate improvements at these intersections with partner agencies as well as the City of Shoreline's proposed off-street bike and pedestrian network to provide safe access for people walking and biking both to the new BRT and light rail stations, and across NE 145th St.
The project also recommends planning sidewalk improvements along the south side of NE 145th St between 5th Ave NE and 15th Ave NE along the northern perimeter of Jackson Park Golf Course.
Currently, this stretch of sidewalk is too narrow, overgrown with vegetation, and there are obstructions like utility poles in some locations. The sidewalk also serves as a segment of the Jackson Park Loop Trail.
