Last night, the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) hosted a meeting to describe potential safety improvements to Sand Point Way NE. The Urbanist has already covered some of the proposal, but here’s additional information from the meeting.
The SDOT meeting was well attended by over 40 people. This safety project began as a neighborhood grant to do a study, which the Northeast District Council and SDOT both approved. The woman who applied for the grant described walking along a part of Sand Point Way that lacks sidewalks and being terrified as a car veered towards her at over 40 mph. This made her both scared and angry enough to begin figuring out how to get sidewalks built.
