Nickerson Street “road diet” survey results

June 8th, 2010 · 9 Comments

The results are in from our survey on the proposed changes to Nickerson Street.  The so called road diet would reduce the car lanes and add bicycle lanes to Nickerson.  Over 700 people have taken the survey since we posted it a week ago.

Based on the results, you can see that we have a community divided with  48.4% of respondents in favor of the plan while 51.6% are opposed.  The survey was designed so that people could only vote once to avoid stacking the results.  We also posted the survey on our sister sites MagnoliaVoice and MyBallard since those areas are also impacted by any changes to Nickerson.

We will be taking the results to the  Seattle City Council Transportation Committee meeting on Tuesday (6/8) at 9:30a.m. in council chambers.  We expect both sides will be there in force as this is the first public hearing for the changes.

The Magnolia Community Club, and the Queen Anne Community Council have come out against the plan while the Cascade Bicycle Club favors it and is urging members to attend the hearing.  Support the Nickerson Street Road Diet is now on Facebook and Google.

We will have a report posted from the site following the meeting.
