WHAT WE’VE DONE
Near-term improvements
• Lowered the speed limit on NE 65th St from 30 to 25 MPH between 8th Ave NE and 12th Ave NE
• Repainted all crosswalks on the corridor to enhance pedestrian safety
• Increased size of traffic signals from 8 inches to 12 inches to improve visibility
• Added reflective backing to traffic signals to improve visibility, especially at night
• Added pedestrian countdown timers to all signalized intersections between NE Ravenna Blvd and 39th Ave NE
• Added a centerline median with posts at NE 65th St and Roosevelt Way NE enhance the safety of southbound to eastbound left turns
Upgraded traffic signals on NE 65th St Pedestrian countdown timer
Lower speed limit on NE 65th St from 8th Ave NE to 12th Ave NE Centerline median with posts at NE 65th St and Roosevelt Way NE

BUS TRAVEL TIMES
What we’ve heardNE 65th St is a major transit corridor and many people travel by bus or want to travel by bus more often.
Proposed bus stop consolidation
What we learnedWe modeled our options to better understand the impacts on bus travel. We learned that bus travel times can be improved in all options by reducing the number of bus stops in the corridor. Buses travel fastest when they stop in the travel lane.

NE 65TH STREET VISION ZERO PROJECT
DESIGN QUESTIONS WE’VE HEARD
We are still planning and will continue to evaluate additional safety improvements to be included in the NE 65th St Vision Zero Project.
Will the project include safer crossings for people walking? Before we design pedestrian crossings, we need to identify a preferred cross-section for the entire NE 65th St corridor. Will the project include painted curb bulbs?As soon as we determine the final channelization of the street and the construction timeframe, we can evaluate the usefulness of curb bulbs and other tactical improvements.
Will speed limits be lowered on the rest of the corridor?After the February forum, we lowered the speed limit from 30 to 25 MPH between 8th Ave NE and 12th Ave NE. We will do further evaluation to see if we can enhance safety by lowering the speed limit on other segments of NE 65th St and nearby streets, like Roosevelt Way NE and 12th Ave NE.
Will the Seattle Police Department increase DUI enforcement and/or prevention efforts?SDOT regularly works with the Seattle Police Department on DUI prevention and enforcement efforts. Deterring impaired driving is a top priority for Vision Zero and patrols will be deployed to the area.
Will the Seattle Police Department do photo enforcement?We are waiting until after the project is fully constructed to work with the Seattle Police Department on whether photo enforcement would be an effective traffic safety tool.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
We will take your feedback on the cross-section options and begin to identify preferred cross-sections for the NE 65th St corridor.
We will then develop a corridor-wide plan to improve safety and mobility on NE 65th St.
