They say the 15th Avenue Corridor (from the Ballard Bridge to Elliott Avenue) is being threatened by several transportation projects. That’s why three groups have launched a new coalition to protect it. The Queen Anne Community Council, the Magnolia Community Club, and the North Seattle Industrial Association have just formed the 15th Avenue W. Transportation Coalition.
The coalition says the 15th Ave corridor is feeling the impact of projects such as the Viaduct Replacement, the Mercer Street Project, and the cruise ships at Smith Cove. They’re demanding a comprehensive approach instead of what they call piecemeal analysis.
The group wants Nickerson Street to be protected as a route to I-5, and calls the recent plan to eliminate a lane in each direction “unacceptable.” They also want SDOT to take a closer look at the controversial BAT lanes, saying they’ve caused even more congestion. The group just sent a letter to Mayor McGinn and the City Council.

This is an odd story. I don’t see anything on QACC’s agenda about joining a coalition. Are there individuals that run this coalition, or is it run through official agreement between these three groups? Who sent you information about this new coalition?
I don’t think the extra lanes benefit Queen Anne at all (nor Magnolia, for that matter). I’d like to hear who on the QACC is involved in this to try and change their minds or vote them off the council.

(update)
Ah, I see that QACC voted 15-1 in favor of approving “any letter by 15th Avenue Coalition”. I guess my next step is to start showing up to meetings and asking questions.

Queen Anne and Magnolia, please take a look at the results of Stone Way’s road diet.
There was no effect on traffic volume, yet there was a strong reduction in accidents and injuries and speeding decreased. Not only that, but bike traffic is now a full 15% of rush-hour trips.
The 15th Ave coallition is on the wrong side of this issue, and I request the QACC to reconsider their position.

Houses are not very cheap and not every person is able to buy it. However, loans was created to help people in such kind of cases.

Great site. A lot of useful information here. I’m sending it to some friends!

The problem with comparing the Nickerson St “diet” with the Stone Way change is that Stone Way has never had the traffic volume that Nickerson does. Those of us who live within a couple of blocks of Nickerson regularly see two lanes of traffic backed up for blocks and blocks when the Fremont Bridge goes up or during the height of rush hour. Reducing traffic lanes on Nickerson will cause more problems than it will solve. I dread what’s to come.

What is to come? Why, we should see fewer cars driving 50 mph down Nickerson in front of SPU. What other neighborhood would have to put up with 50 mph speeders in front of a school?
8 Brent // Jun 2, 2010 at 10:59 am
The point of the bus lanes is so that those of us who choose to ride the bus can get around the inevitable congestion. We voted for the RapidRide system. Why would the community councils now work to undercut what the voters voted for?
Instead of a piecemeal different-vehicles-allowed-at-different-hours approach, there should be a unified 24/7 dedicated bus lane. And there is no reason why we should have to wait for the RapidRide rebranded buses before it happens.
