WSBC Meeting March 3

bike riders mixing with car and semi-truck traffic on East Marginal Way South, Seattle

Taylor Knowles, SDOT’s Outreach person for the East Marginal Way Corridor Project, will present the 60% design for discussion.  Please join us!

Tuesday, March 3
6:30 to 8:00 pm
Neighborhood House
6400 Sylvan Way SW  (at SW Morgan, in High Point)

We are really excited to see progress on this catalyst project. It is West Seattle’s main bike route to downtown, and the Port of Seattle’s most important “last mile” freight route. This design milestone is a great opportunity for input to dial in the design so it will really work for bike riders and truck drivers.

We and our allies at Northwest Seaport, BNSF, and SODO industries all want a safe route with clear and robust separation of vehicle and bike traffic. The result should be bike riding that is predicable for truck drivers and comfortable for bike riders of all abilities.

If you can’t make the meeting, here’s a link to the project website. One more click takes you to a survey for online input.
