130th and 145th Street Station Multimodal Access Plan |
3) N 130th Corridor Improvements (SR 99 to NE 130th St Overpass)
Background
- The N 130th St Corridor Improvements create a central east-west connection between the Haller Lake urban village and the NE 130th St Station.
- Improvements would create high-quality facilities for transit, people walking and biking and addressing a Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Analysis (BPSA)-identified intersection at N 130th St/1st Ave NE. Improvements are also focused on reducing vehicle speeds and collisions along the corridor.
- N 130th St Corridor Improvements proposes implementing an all ages and abilities bicycle facility identified in the Seattle Bicycle Master Plan (BMP) and improving sidewalks identified in the Pedestrian Master Plan Priority Investment Network.
- In addition to providing access to the NE 130th St Station, The project provides improved bike and pedestrian access to Mary's Place Family Center in N Seattle, Granite Curling Club, Haller Lake Playground, and Northacres Park.
- The N 130th St Corridor Improvements address community requests for safe bike and walking along N 130th St to the NE 130th St Station.
Project recommendations
- Construct grade-separated shared-use path on the north side of N 130th St
- Widen sidewalks on the south side of N 130th St
- Construct Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements through the corridor
- Make crossing improvements at N 130th St/State Route 99 and N 130th St/1st Ave NE for people walking and biking
- Improve transit stops and amenities to support frequent bus service
Potential options to consider:
- Redesign street as 3 lanes with shared-use path on north side
- 2 lanes (vehicle), 2 lanes transit priority, shared-use path on north side
- Designate segments in both directions for transit lanes that allow buses to avoid traffic in the most congested direction
Project alternative
Alternative #3A: N 128th St Neighborhood Greenway
Alternative #3A: N 128th St Neighborhood Greenway
- N 128th St is classified as a collector arterial along some segments, which conflicts with the low speed, low traffic volume characteristics of a neighborhood greenway
- Land use close to State Route 99 is zoned for commercial/mixed use, and the resulting large truck traffic, unstructured street parking, and other back-of-house business makes the street less appropriate for an all ages and abilities bike facility
- This option would reduce conflicts between transit and bikes on N 130th St
