Project Description

This project will Construct infill sidewalk, providing a continuous 1.34 miles of sidewalk along the south side of NE 68th Street, between Highway 99 and NE St. Johns Road Improve pedestrian safety and mobility, as pedestrians will no longer be forced to walk in the roadway and compete with vehicle traffic Add crosswalks to existing sidewalk and, destinations on the north side of the roadway, and add lighting and an RRFB at one crossing, reducing potential vehicle/pedestrian conflicts improves safety as well as travel times for all modes of transportation.

Existing Condition

NE 68th Street is a busy 2-lane collector serving a densely populated residential neighborhood with only a few small stretches of intermittent sidewalk and no bicycle lanes-ADT 3,288 vehicles, 35 MPH posted speed limit, with an 85th percentile speed of 43 MPH, and nearly 400 vehicles daily, traveling over 45 MPH. Road Geometry 10-11 foot lanes with no (or very narrow) shoulders, limited segments of sidewalk, slopes greater than 12 percent and open ditches, with locations where the roadway is 10 to 15 feet above or below the abutting parcels. Lack of a sidewalk forces pedestrians into the travel lanes, creating conflicts with vehicles which must swerve into oncoming lanes to avoid a collision. Pedestrians of all ages and abilities walk and bike along the corridor, both in the roadway and along worn pathways. There are transit routes at both ends of the road along both Highway 99 and St. Johns Road, and various pedestrian generators, including churches, a mosque, 20-acre park and farm.
