Building a connected Seattle bike network.

June 13, 2019 by Jeanne Clark

Today, the Bicycle Master Plan (BMP) 2019 to 2024 Implementation Plan was delivered to City Council.

It identifies projects and programs which, combined with existing facilities, will deliver a robust connected citywide bike network. Using a combination of protected bike lanes, trails, neighborhood greenways, and funding for bike parking, encouragement programs, and safety education, biking will be a healthy, affordable travel option for people of all ages and abilities.

“The number of people biking across Seattle is growing. That’s because the city continues to invest to connect Seattle by bike. This plan has a laser-sharp focus on fixing gaps that have long hampered the bike network – like closing the Burke Gilman Missing Link and completing much of the downtown Basic Bike Network,” said Vicky Clarke, Cascade Bicycle Club’s Policy Director.

“Building from the Levy Reset we appreciate the administration’s assurance to the community that the projects contained in this plan will advance. We’re glad to see the city has responded to community feedback to add bike connections to, and within, South East Seattle. Now we must act with urgency to find the funding for those overdue connections so that these neighborhoods can finally have equitable access to safe and affordable transportation options. We look forward to working together to do just that.”

Over the last 18 months, we’ve invested over $21M in bike infrastructure, including planning, design, & construction & installed 13 miles of new facilities & over 800 new bike parking spaces.

Read the BMP

We took a major step last year to create the nation’s largest permanent free-floating bike share program, which supported two million rides in 2018. In the last year, we saw bike ridership increase by 12 percent over 2017, and we were named the “Best Bike City” by Bicycling magazine. This year, we’ll deliver an additional 11 miles of bike safety projects.

Building on this effort, Mayor Jenny Durkan’s 2019 to 2024 Implementation Plan invests $76 million over six years making significant progress toward connecting our bike network, including 50 miles of new bike facilities and 29 miles and planning. The plan will transform how people move around Seattle, by completing the Center City Bike Network, delivering protected bike lanes with RapidRide H (Delridge) and RapidRide Roosevelt/Eastlake, increasing connections to future light rail stations, and completing the Missing Link of the Burke Gilman Trail.

“We are thrilled that this plan includes critical routes like Eastlake Ave, Martin Luther King Jr Way S, Beacon Ave S, the Georgetown to South Park Trail, Thomas St, and the downtown Basic Bike Network. We look forward to working with the mayor and city council to secure any additional funding that is needed to build these and other critical trails, neighborhood greenways, and protected bike lanes” said Gordon Padelford, Executive Director of Seattle Neighborhood Greenways.

“We can, and must, be a city where people, of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds have the choice get to where they need to go by bike.”

Center City Bike Network map

In April, we presented a draft Implementation Plan to City Council.

While the plan’s budget hadn’t changed, the plan was developed in line with the comprehensive reassessment of the Levy to Move Seattle SDOT completed under the leadership of Mayor Durkan based on more realistic assumptions than we used in 2015. The Implementation Plan is intended to provide accountability for our continued investment in bicycle infrastructure and programs within existing committed resources while also identifying additional projects to be developed to a “shovel-ready” state. The Bike Master Plan is funded in large part by the Levy so we also worked with the Seattle Bicycle Advisory Board and used the 2014 Bike Master Plan prioritization criteria, grant and partnership opportunities to reprioritize projects over the second half of the Levy.

New this year, we launched an online survey and hosted four café-style conversations in the north, central southeast, and southwest Seattle to gather input and confirm the plan meets people’s needs and values. We heard from over 350 people at our public meetings and through the survey and over 550 via emails. People shared the importance of safety, protecting the environment, and transparency in decision-making.

They’d like increased maintenance of facilities and increased wayfinding. They also highlighted expanding engagement to include the voices of all people impacted, communities of color, and people who might be new to biking. Now that the implementation plan is complete, we’ll incorporate these values and continue to engage community members in the planning, design, and construction of projects. We also worked to clean our protected bike lane network during Bike Everywhere Month in May.

One of four café-style conversations with Seattleites

This Implementation Plan reflects the communities desire and our commitment to fight climate change, support a multimodal transportation system that encourages the reduction of single occupancy vehicles, and supports Seattle’s Vision Zero commitment to eliminate fatal and serious traffic collisions by 2030.

This plan includes projects that build crucial connections & were identified by the community as priorities.

The plan also addresses geographic inequities and prioritizes connections that serve communities located in Southeast Seattle.

New projects

Prior to finalizing the Implementation Plan, hundreds of people provided input and called for a southeast Seattle connection to downtown. As a result, we are advancing to construction a project on Martin Luther King, Jr Way S from I-90 to at least Rainier Ave S and to advance planning for a route along Beacon Ave from the Jose Rizal Bridge to S 39^th We’re also prioritizing planning efforts to consider a Georgetown to Downtown route and completing a connection along 12^th Ave from King St to Yesler Way.

Share benefits

The plan now shows when projects connect to transit, schools, community centers, and urban villages occur, as well as to existing bike facilities, or those planned for construction by 2024. We also acknowledge when a project routes through portions of the city that score in the upper regions of quartile of Seattle’s Race and Social Equity Composite Index.

Improve accountability

Expected costs and challenges such as agency coordination and parking impacts are listed, highlighting where additional effort may be required, or a project modified.

Seek new funding

While the plan builds out 50 miles of bicycle infrastructure over the next six years, additional projects are funded only into design or planning. We are recommitting to seeking additional revenue sources and grants to advance key connections to accelerate progress during the timeframe of the implementation plan.

On our way to 1,500 new bike parking spaces this year!

June 11, 2019 by Niki Seligman

Bike parking on Alki, West Seattle

How people get around our city has changed. While Seattle continues to grow, so do all the options for getting around – including riding a bike. With more bike lanes being built and more people using bike share, Seattle needs additional spaces for people to park their bikes.

We began the year with about 10,000 bike parking spaces citywide, & a plan to build 1,500 more in 2019.

#SeattleDidYouKnow

Most of the bike parking spaces being built this year are

funded by our bike share program!

This plan is inspired by you.

People are our top priority. When it comes to your mobility, we’re focused on safety and accessibility. Because of this, we’re creating bike parking spaces in the street, next to crosswalks in the areas with “No Parking Within 30 feet” signs.

We’re taking advantage of space that isn’t currently used.

Cars are not allowed to park within 30 feet of many crosswalks because it forces other drivers to inch forward and block the crosswalk in order to see oncoming traffic and people crossing the street. This is a safety concern because drivers may start driving through the crosswalk while people are traveling through it.

But putting bike parking spaces here doesn’t block anyone’s view and actually improves safety for everyone. It lets us fit a lot more vehicles on the street (yes – bikes can be a type of vehicle) and helps keep the sidewalk clear.

Building bike parking on the street frees up sidewalk space for people of all ages & abilities to get around.

Installing bike parking in the curb space adjacent to crosswalks has a practical use and a public safety benefit. It ensures people driving, walking, and biking are visible to everyone.

And we’ve already gotten started!

If you haven’t noticed already, you’ll likely see more bike parking spaces popping up around town. We’ve added about 500 new bike parking spaces so far this year with a thousand more on their way.

Here’re the areas we’ve been focusing on so far:

The Central District
University District
Alki
West Woodland (AKA Frelard)

In June, we’ll be adding bike parking in:

South Lake Union
Rainier Beach
South Park

We want everyone who uses our transportation system, including people walking, biking, and driving, to have a safe trip!

VIDEO: Bike Share Parking – Let’s Make Bike Share Work for Everyone!

June 5, 2019 by Molly Wright

Seattle, we 💓 bike share. And we 💓 you for using it for your adventures.

Bike share lets you borrow a bike for a quick errand, a trip to Link light rail, an all-day adventure, and everything in between. You pick up the bikeshare bike closest to you, ride it to where you want to go, and leave the bike for the next person to ride.

It’s pretty awesome. And you’re pretty awesome for using it!

Where you park your bike has a big impact on how we get around.

When you’re done with your ride, it’s important to park your bike share bikes correctly. By parking your bike between the sidewalk and the street away from curb ramps, transit stops, or benches, you’re ensuring that everyone, including those with accessibility needs, are able to get around safely and easily.

WATCH: We teamed up with Rooted in Rights to create a video showing the do’s and don’ts of good bike share parking.

Check out Dorian and Jacob as they describe the difficulties of navigating sidewalks that are blocked by bike share bikes, and watch them provide helpful tips on the best places to park your bike share bike. As they say, “don’t be a bike blocker.” 👍

Here are a few tips:

Park the bike in between the sidewalk and the street.
Leave at least six feet clear for people to pass.
Do not park on corners, driveways, or curb ramps.
Do not block access to buildings, benches, parking pay stations, bus stops, hydrants, etc.

Most importantly, stop and ask yourself before you park: Will this be in someone’s way?

It takes everyone’s help to keep our sidewalks clear. Let’s all look out for each other!

HEY, YOU! — YEA, YOU! SEATTLE’S SAFEST DRIVER 2.0 (launches 5/13)

May 10, 2019 by SDOT Blog

Think you’re Seattle’s safest driver? Prove it & win.

When it comes to traffic safety & moving toward Vision Zero, it’s about a culture change. It’s a shift from accepting accidents, to preventing crashes and making streets safer for everyone. This shift is going to take some big and small changes from public and private partners and from individuals like you – yea, you!

Seattle’s Safest Driver 2.0 launches on May 13, an app-based 8-week safe driving competition.

Get ready to download, play, and win in support of our Vision Zero efforts to end traffic deaths and serious injuries on city streets by 2030. All you have to do is head to the App Store or Google Play, download the free Seattle’s Safest Driver app, and drive (safely). Then invite everyone you know to compete.

We’re supportive of friendly smack talk in the name of safer streets, FYI.

Heads up! If you competed in our 2017/2018 competition (we heart you) and still have the app, you’ll need to get the latest version to be eligible for prizes. Once you download it, you can sign in as a returning user, or start fresh (with a different email address).

Using GPS and extensive math, the app tracks:

speeding,
harsh acceleration and braking, turning, and
phone distraction.

Be the best driver & you could win $5,000 – made possible by our partnership w/PEMCO Insurance.

You’ll compete for bi-weekly prizes, and if you join within the first four weeks of the competition (by June 9), you’ll be eligible to win the $5,000 grand prize, made possible by a continued partnership with PEMCO Insurance.

Yes, you read that right. $5,000 in cash money. Well, technically, we’ll hand you a giant fake check, then you’ll get a real check.

Exhibit A: here we are handing off a check to last year’s grand prize winner, Seattle resident Russell Lebert. Note last year’s grand prize amount. That’s right, this year’s grand prize is bigger (2.5 times bigger, to be exact). Sorry, Russell.

2018 Safest Driver winner being presented a giant check.

SDOT’s Allison Schwartz, Seattle’s Safest Driver 2018 Russell Lebert, and PEMCO’s Derek Wing are all smiles wrapping up a successful competition

It’s a regional competition! You don’t have to live in Seattle to compete!

This is a regional competition, open to residents of King, Pierce, Snohomish, and Kitsap counties, ages 17 and up. To be eligible for prizes, a portion of your drive trips must occur within the City of Seattle.

Don’t drive? This is a multi-modal competition!

The app also tracks transit and bike trips, and we’ll be offering bi-weekly prizes for folks in those categories as well. So, encourage your friends, family members, and co-workers to download the free app. You’ll be able to set up your own leaderboard to settle the age-old debate of who’s the better driver.

Turns out, the same technology that some folks are glued to (even while driving), when harnessed for good, can steer behavior the right direction.

We ran an initial contest in 2017/2018, engaging 4,000+ people in + behavior change.

Across the top 50% of users, we saw phone distraction drop 20% and speeding drop 16%. Distraction and speeding are two of the top contributing factors to crashes in most cities (up there with impairment and failure to yield to pedestrians), so we were excited to see these results.

Perhaps even more exciting and impressive was what we saw with participants who began the app with a score of less than 90 (ahem, folks who had the most to gain in terms of behavior change). This group saw a 26% reduction in phone distraction and a 32% reduction in speeding, not just during the competition, but for 3 months after it as well. So, there were no prizes dangling in front of them, but they kept up the good work. Faith in humanity beginning to be restored.

With these positive results, we’re aiming to engage even more residents across the region in this safe driving competition.

Seattle may be one of the safest cities in the country but people are still driving distracted & speeding.

Seattle is one of the safest cities in the country. In fact, the company behind this app, Cambridge Mobile Telematics, has a city by city comparison and folks in the Seattle area beat out most of the other cities. But people are still driving distracted and speeding (among other things) – so there’s more we can and should do, and with your help, we can get there.

So, download, drive better & win.

Learn more at www.seattle.gov/safestdriver.

Special thank you to our primary sponsor, PEMCO Insurance, and our bi-weekly prize partners: car2go, Lyft, Uber, Lime, Zipcar, AAA Washington, Pacific Science Center, and Rachel’s Ginger Beer! Together, we’re making streets safer.

FREE adaptive cycle rentals through a new partnership with Outdoors for All.

May 7, 2019 by Molly Wright

May is #BikeEverywhereMonth and we’re working to ensure everyone has access to get out and enjoy the great joys of biking.

Did you know one of the nation’s largest fleets of adaptive cycles is housed here in Seattle? Outdoors for All Foundation, a local non-profit, provides adaptive recreation opportunities for children and adults with disabilities and boasts over 200 adaptive cycles in its Magnuson Park Adaptive Cycle Center.

Now, a new partnership between our Bike Share Program and Outdoors for All will help more people access these amazing cycles.

This summer, a portion of our bike share permit-generated fees will go straight to Outdoors for All, allowing this great organization to better serve the community through the Adaptive Cycling Center. Read on to learn about the many opportunities for you to get out and bike!

Free rentals, extended hours, and bikes in south Seattle – here’s what our partnership is providing:

1. All adaptive cycle rentals will be FREE in Magnuson Park through September 30, 2019!

This new partnership will allow all rentals in Magnuson Park to be free-of-charge for children and adults with disabilities! You can rent an adaptive cycle through September 30, 2019 at the Adaptive Cycling Center in Magnuson Park.

What are adaptive cycles? They include:

Handcycles for individuals with no or limited leg movement
Three- and four-wheel cycles for those who need more stability
Children’s hand and foot powered cycles
Tandem cycles for individuals who want a guide while riding
Hand and foot cranked cycles exercising your whole body
Standard cycles

2. The Adaptive Cycling Center will remain open 7 days a week from May through September.

Now, you can cycle all week long! With our partnership, adaptive cycles will be available for drop-in rentals 7 days a week from 10 AM – 6 PM through September 30.

3. We’ll bring the adaptive cycles to 10 events in South Seattle this summer.

We understand that Magnuson Park isn’t easily accessible for those living in the South Seattle. That’s why this partnership allows for Outdoors for All to bring their trailer full of adaptive cycles to 10 events this summer!

People will be able to stop by and try an adaptive cycle free-of-charge at these events, including Seward Park Bicycle Sundays and White Center Bicycle Demonstrations. Check out the complete list of dates here!

Meet Sofi and Patricia, two people who have found the joy and freedom of using adaptive cycles.

Sofi and her mom, Tracey, stopped into the Adaptive Cycling Center almost every week during the summer of 2018 trying out different tandem cycles. When Sofi and her mom first started to visit, Sofi didn’t want to pedal, but by the end of the summer Sofi and her mom pedaled over 400 miles! Read Sofi’s story here.

Patricia also used one of Outdoors for All’s adaptive cycles to cycle for the first time last summer! Because she was able to try different adaptive cycles to see which worked best for her, she was able to get her own. Now she rides everywhere! Learn about Patricia’s adventures here.

Try out an adaptive cycle today!

Check out the great work that Outdoors for All does and make this summer the one you or your loved one get on an adaptive cycle!

Bike Share Parking 101

May 3, 2019 by Molly Wright

Taking a bike share bike to Alki is an easy and fun way to get exercise and enjoy the fresh air! Be sure to park your bike in one of our new parking spaces!

Alright Seattle, we know you already know the obvious places where you’re not supposed to park a bike share bike.

GeekWire put together a comprehensive list of incorrectly parked bikes across Seattle in 2017. Presented without comment.

But, there are certain spots you may not realize are blocking access for people.

Sometimes we may not realize it, but certain places that we leave our bike share bikes parked can prevent access for people who are just trying to get around. Here are three easy areas to avoid when you’re ready to park your bike:

In the middle of the sidewalks.

People of all ages and abilities rely on clear sidewalks to travel throughout Seattle. Did you know: people who are blind sometimes use the walls of buildings to get around? It’s really important that we keep the sidewalk, from the edge of buildings to the “planting strip” (the space, paved or unpaved, between the curb and sidewalk), clear for everyone.

Park your bike share on the outer edge of the sidewalk, where you usually find street trees, newspaper stands, & fire hydrants.

Near curb ramps.

Along with keeping sidewalks clear, it’s important to keep curb ramps free of bikes to help those who rely on curb ramps to access sidewalks. Make sure you’re not blocking ramps when you park your bike.

Near bus stops & building entrances.

Have you ever had a bike block your bus stop, or get in the way of the front door to a building? Not only is it frustrating, but it can prevent people who are unable to move the bikes themselves from accessing public transportation, get to appointments on time, or just get home.

Be aware of where you’re leaving your bike, & make sure to keep it out of the way! Here, it’s easy. We’ll show you!

Take a minute and 30 seconds out of your day to watch our bike share parking video with Rooted in Rights, with the how-to on parking your bike share bike.

(P.S. share with your friends, neighbors, and colleagues – we could all use a refresher!)

More bike parking spaces are coming this year!

We’re making it easier for you to park your bike! Look for new parking for 160 bikes in West Seattle along Alki Beach and at the Seacrest Marina. We’ll be installing a new corral at Seacrest Marina that will be the largest in Seattle!

If you can help move an improperly parked bike, you’d seriously be a top-notch citizen!

Relocating a bike that’s blocking access is a quick and easy way to be a good neighbor and look out for others who are just trying to travel safely through Seattle. Use our tips listed above to find the perfect location to store that bike for the next rider!

Thanks, Seattle, for doing your part to keep our sidewalks clear for everyone. We’re all in this together! Now, get out there and ride a bike for #BikeEverywhereMonth, and when you’re done, be sure to park it right!
