FAUNTLEROY BOULEVARD PROJECT
Community feedback:
What weve heard so far
Providing access for
area businesses is critical
Concerns about increased traffic
congestion in the corridor
Landscaping should be easy to maintain
and attractive
Bicycle facility should connect to a network
of bike routes
Current corridor is difficult to navigate
as a pedestrian
Project should improve the appearance of the
corridor to welcome people to West Seattle
FAUNTLEROY BOULEVARD PROJECT
How will this project connect to other
bike facilities?
