Improving East Marginal Way S has been our top priority since 2012. Separation of bike traffic from heavy truck traffic will make it dramatically safer and less stressful to ride a bike on the primary route from West Seattle to downtown and beyond.
The improved East Marginal Way S was achieved by members of the bike and freight communities recognizing a shared interest in safety, efficiency, and resilience for our roadways and seaport. We worked to understand and accommodate each other’s needs, to convince elected officials, to obtain funding, and this allowed SDOT to arrive at an outstanding design that works for everyone. Thanks to everyone who helped along the way!
Let’s enjoy some before pictures to remember how things used to be:
