Revised Proposal Summary

Roosevelt Way NE 2012 Proposal

MLCC Comment: Complete the bike lane on east side of Roosevelt (see next page)

Benefits
Reduces conflict Wider lane Fewer collisions Completes bicycle network Improves bicycle access

Roosevelt Way NE 2012 Proposal

MLCC understanding of the proposal 5 parking spaces removed east side of Roosevelt Way NE just north of the signal at NE 75th. 5 parking spaces removed on east side of Roosevelt to the south of intersection at 80th 3 parking spaces removed on the east side of Roosevelt to the north of intersection at 80th. All parking removed west side of Roosevelt from 75th to 85th. Reducing three in-lane bus stops to only one in lane one. Retains turning lanes so no worsening of 75th/80th intersections 8-foot wide parking area at curbs (versus 7-foot standard) 6-foot bike lane width (versus 5-foot standard) on east (uphill, northbound) side, sharrows on the west side Retained parking enough to handle maximum parking seen e ed p g e oug o de u p g see during surveys, though on-street availability shifts across street.

MLCC Comment: Will also be at the 2012 Summer Social, July 25.
