People walking and biking experience high traffic stress along the S 7th Street corridor that carries 13,400 vehicles per day. The current conditions, including missing sidewalk and sub-par or non-existent bicycle facilities, are seen as a barrier in the neighborhood preventing safe access to transit and regional trails nearby. Improvements that would help reduce these barriers and encourage more travel and recreation by foot or bike include safer intersections, bike/pedestrian facilities and street calming measures..

Project Description
This project completes a gap in the trails/bicycle network by installing a 6-ft sidewalk with buffer and cycle track on the N side of S 7th St, between Shattuck and Burnett Ave S, and intersection improvements at multiple intersections along the corridor from Shattuck Ave S to Oakesdale Ave SW. The intersection improvements from Shattuck Ave S westward along this corridor will improve bicycle facilities and intersection operations to provide upgraded signage to bicyclists and will simplify bicycle movements through complex intersections. Bicycle improvements include push-button activation, green bike lanes through conict/crossing zones, and pavement markings. The project will also upgrade an existing marked crosswalk with flashing beacons with higher visibility technology. Addressing pedestrian and bicyclist comfort by creating safer connections to current and future transit are essential elements to increasing ridership and for encouraging more travel and recreation by foot or bike.
