The Seattle Department of Transportation is asking for the community’s feedback on four proposals for the NE 75th corridor. You can see the four proposals here: NE 75th St Proposals
Your feedback is requested at these two community meetings:
- Wednesday, July 24th, 7-9PM in the Fellowship Hall (downstairs) at Wedgwood Presbyterian Church (8008 35th Ave NE)
- Thursday, July 25th, 1-3PM in the Fellowship Hall (downstairs) at Messiah Lutheran Church (7050 35th Ave NE)
There are also these improvements that will happen in the near future:
- Photo enforcement cameras for the Eckstein school zone on NE 75th Street ($ from these to be used for road/pedestrian safety projects near schools city-wide)
- Traffic calming on the non-arterial streets near Eckstein (SDOT will work with residents before installation of traffic calming devices such as speed bumps)
- New crosswalk at 28th Avenue NE and NE 75th Street
- New pedestrian countdown signals at several intersections
- Crossing improvements at 9th Avenue NE and NE 75th Street (near the entrance to southbound Interstate 5)
- Spot parking restrictions throughout the area to improve sight lines
SDOT will come again and ask for our feedback on the following longer-term projects:
- Channelization improvements on Banner Way/NE 75th Street between NE 80th Street and 15th Avenue NE
- New left turn pockets on 35th Avenue NE at NE 75th Street
- Bicycle facilities on NE 75th Street east of 35th Avenue NE connecting to the newly completed Neighborhood Greenway on 39th Avenue NE
