The Department of Planning and Development is asking for public comment on a project that would link the edge of Lower Queen Anne to the waterfront via a pedestrian and bicycle overpass. The proposed overpass would be 10 feet wide and 932 feet long, beginning on the western side of 3rd Ave W, crossing Elliott Ave W, continuing along W Thomas St to the Burlington Northern Railway, and then south down a ramp to Myrtle Edwards Park.
This photo, provided by DPD for illustrative purpose, depicts the general path the overpass would take. The public are asked to submit comments on this proposal, which will be accepted through Tuesday, March 9. For more information or to comment on the project, click here.
This project is being run through SDOT. I’m still waiting to hear back from them on the details of the project, and will post an update soon.
