Greetings to all. We wanted to send this notice out a bit earlier than usual due to some big planning and events happening soon in the neighborhood!
With the Highland/Holden intersection work almost completed, the Highland Park Way bike lane and pedestrian improvements project is now looking for comments & providing planning opportunities.
As noted on their website: “The Highland Park Way SW Connection project is intended to provide an improved path for people to walk, roll, and bike between the Highland Park and Riverview neighborhoods and the Duwamish River Trail.”
Besides connecting bikes and walkers from our ridge to the trail, this route serves as a major vehicle arterial in and out of West Seattle at large, carrying an important part of area traffic loads. So far planners are focusing on narrowing the Highland Park Way hill to three lanes of vehicle traffic to make this connection, if you have other ideas or suggestions we encourage you to be involved now.
SDOT has some preliminary plans posted online, and representatives will be attending our May HPAC meeting at 7pm on May 22nd. We will be using Zoom this month. You can log in to our meeting via the link below.
In addition, there will be SDOT folks at Highland Park Corner Store events on May 16 and 23rd for in-person conversations, as well as other nearby events, the West Seattle Bee Festival in High Point on May 18th, and Spring Fling at the SCC Campus on May 22. Times are found on the project webpage. SDOT encourages you to Share your thoughts by June 15!
Other News and Opportunities:
If you are looking to pitch in and help out the community, the One Seattle Day of Service on May 18 has multiple opportunities in Riverview and South Delridge! Come on out for planting, traffic circle restoration and neighborhood outreach events. More information and signups are found here.
If you were not able to make it to our discussion in April, the Highland Park/Delridge Healthy Streets project is still under review and open for comment(s). Three sections of the closures are under consideration for more permanent traffic restrictions. At the meeting we heard a lot of feedback about the SW Trenton St. section, if you have thoughts on 15th SW or 21st SW portions we encourage you to respond to SDOT via the contacts on the project page here.
You can read more about the planning process and get maps of the changes being considered via this West Seattle Blog coverage.
