Aurora is a top traffic safety priority, here’s what we’re doing now Aurora Ave N (State Route 99) is one of our top traffic safety priorities. Between 2018 and 2022, Aurora accounted for 19% of all traffic fatalities in Seattle. Even though people walking were involved in only 6% of crashes, they made up 70% of the fatalities. (Learn more from our planning study.) We need changes to improve traffic safety as soon as possible. That’s why we are currently working on near-term improvements, while also working on the long-term vision. Construction is underway on N 137th St, where we are adding: Two new crosswalk signals and four new crosswalks for people walking and biking Two new median islands New curb ramps at all four corners of the intersection
Some recently completed safety projects include: Installed head start pedestrian signals (also known as Leading Pedestrian Intervals) at all intersections with a signal. Introduced “No Turn on Red” restrictions for people driving in intersections. Repainted and widened all marked crosswalks for people walking along Aurora Ave N. Installed hardened center lines at six intersections between N 135th St and N 77th St. And added new curbing with turn restrictions at N 103rd St.
Our website outlines the overall schedule that we've developed in partnership with King County Metro and WSDOT.
This is the second phase of our Corridor Planning Study.
Near-term improvements are already in progress, and larger capital projects will follow.

76th and Aurora, in 1953. The street is a 6-lane "stroad" with no median divider - however, it has significantly wider sidewalks and a diverse collection of businesses. It was widened in the same period and the sidewalks were made narrower.
We’re working to make the street safer & more welcoming for everyone, whether they walk, bike, roll, take transit, drive, move goods, or provide services.
Your participation ensures that the future Aurora Ave N serves the needs of the communities it connects.
The future may not look like the past.

Aurora Ave N is one of the busiest and most complex streets in Seattle. It connects homes, businesses, jobs, services, freight, and carries Metro’s highest ridership bus route, the RapidRide E Line.
Our goal is to create a community-driven design vision for the street to guide future investments.

What are you thinking about? Oh, just bus only lanes, like the one pictured here - focused on the street markings with some shadows from nearby street trees.

I've forwarded this to our team. If other neighbors are also concerned about this issue, please consider coordinating with them to send email reports to 684-ROAD@seattle.gov. That will raise the profile of the complaint.
Riders will get a sneak peek of the new trail for a few hours on the first day of cruise ship season providing a detour around Pier 66. The full stretch opens next Tuesday, providing a wide, comfortable path between Downtown and the Olympic Sculpture Park.

I'll share that suggestion with the Flip Your Trip team.
Just a heads up that there will be some updates to 100% finalize this map. They're smaller details though (like specifics around bike & scooter parking in particular).
