Bike Master Plan Open House October 16

The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) is hosting an open house about four alternatives being considered for the final draft bicycle network map for the Northeast 65th Street corridor and surrounding streets.

October 16th, 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm

Ravenna-Eckstein Community Center, 6535 Ravenna Ave NE

Based on public input, SDOT developed alternatives for bicycle infrastructure through the Ravenna-Bryant community that include different combinations of neighborhood greenways (bicycle facilities on residential streets) and cycle tracks (bicycle facilities on arterials that are separated and protected from adjoining traffic).

To comment online on which of the four alternatives you prefer, please see http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/PBDKX6B. This online survey will be available until 5:30 pm, October 17th.

After a review of survey responses and comments received during the open house, the mayor’s office and SDOT will finalize the draft Bicycle Master Plan, which will be transmitted to City Council for review later this fall. Council will then hold a public hearing and will ultimately adopt an updated Bicycle Master Plan. Plans for constructing bicycle improvements in this area may be some time out since this is a long-range plan.

The RBCA is also conducting a survey about NE 65th Street.  Please take it now if you haven’t already: www.surveymonkey.com/s/NE65thStBusinessDistrict.
