We’re lucky to have local community organizations like Queen Anne Greenways to make sure our streets are safe for pedestrians. However, if you’re a pedestrian, you’ll have a vested interest in the Seattle Pedestrian Master Plan, the City’s approach to prioritizing pedestrian improvements across Seattle.
The Pedestrian Master Plan Update survey is open now, and it takes about 5 minutes or less to complete it. It asks respondents to rate/rank the importance of different pedestrian improvements, from safe sidewalks to visible crosswalks (check out the almost-non-existent crosswalk at Queen Anne Ave N & Galer St to the right) to speed limits for cars.
The survey also shows a variety of different alternatives to traditional sidewalks that would be less expensive for the City to implement in areas where no sidewalks exist today.
Check out the survey today and let the city know what you think about different approaches to keeping pedestrians safe both on Queen Anne and in Seattle.
