QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

How will the enhanced bike lanes on N 50th St connect to existing bike lanes?We’re building a network of bicycle facilities inSeattle to help make biking a safe, affordable traveloption. These enhanced bike lanes will allow forsafer and more comfortable east-west travel throughWallingford by connecting to existing bike lanes onPhinney Ave N and Stone Way N.

Why aren’t you adding a protected bike lane on N 50th St?We considered adding a protected bike lane onN 50th St, but decided to widen the existing bikelanes instead. The roadway is not wide enough toaccommodate protected bike lanes. Widening the bikelanes allows us to increase safety while also retainingparking in the area.

Are you making design changes at the intersection of N 50th St, Stone Way N, and Green Lake Way N?We heard your concerns about improving thisintersection. We’re looking at ways within our scopeand budget to make improvements for people walkingand biking through this intersection. This work will beunder a separate contract and we will provide you withmore information as this work progresses through ouremail updates.

We’re also repaving and updating lane layouts on N 40th St, N 80th St, and streets on the east side of Green Lake in the Green Lake and Wallingford communities.

For details on these other segments, please visit our webpage.

New and upgraded curb ramps at many intersections along N 50th St.For cost savings and efficiency, the rapid flashing beacons at N50th St at Dayton Ave N and Woodland Park Ave N will be constructed and installed at a later day by SDOT crews. It is currently anticipated that they will be installed in 2022.

WHAT WE HEARD: We need wider bike lanes! I don’t feel safe when cars drive by me when I’m on my bike.
