130th and 145th Street Station Multimodal Access Plan |
7) N 137th St Neighborhood Greenway
Background
- The proposed N 137th St Neighborhood Greenway is the preferred neighborhood greenway route to provide an essential east-west bike connection from the Interurban Trail to 1st Ave NE.
- The proposed project offers a direct east-west route with low average daily traffic volumes and low vehicles speeds. N 137th St is located between N 145th St and N 130th St and provides access to both future light rail stations.
- The City's Pedestrian Master Plan identifies segments of N 137th St as part of the Priority Investment Network (PIN). The project also provides improved access for people walking and biking to Lakeside Middle School.
Project recommendations
- Along N 137th St from the Interurban Trail to 1st Ave NE, install neighborhood greenway treatments
- Install signalized crossing at State Route 99/N 137th St for people walking and biking; coordinate with WSDOT
- Make crossing improvements at Roosevelt Way N/N 137th St/Meridian Ave N for people walking and biking
- Fill in missing sidewalks along N 137th St at the following locations: Interlake Ave N to Ashworth Ave N, Burke Ave N to 1st Ave N
- Install a crosswalk at N 137th St/1st Ave NE to connect to the proposed shared-use path on the east side of 1st Ave NE
