Three wins for West Seattle and one for Georgetown-South Park in the City’s Neighborhood Street Fund grants.

You can now see the 10% design concepts illustrated, and can submit comments of support or criticism to SDOT by January 31.

The “Delridge Neighborhood Greenway Safe Connections” project for SW Andover from 26th to Delridge, and on to the bridge trail, includes what we asked for and a little more. It will help make riding on the 26th Ave Greenway a viable alternative to Delridge. Installing a guardrail on the path leading to the West Seattle Bridge Trail will further separate people walking and biking from traffic at a narrow point in the trail.

Projects on SW Barton at Delridge Way and at 25th SW will make it a lot more safe to cross that busy street near Westwood Village and on a walking/biking route to White Center.

The South Park and Georgetown Safe Connections project will improve visibility and safety for riding bikes on busy truck routes at East Marginal Way S and 16th Ave S. That’s on the route to/from Georgetown using the 14th Ave (South Park) Bridge. We’ve submitted comments that the project really should include a marked bike mixing zone for north/eastbound 16th Ave too, not just for south/west bound East Marginal Way.  More comments would help send that message. This is an important West Seattle bike connection to south Seattle.
