The city wants to know what you think about the proposed changes to Nickerson Stree.  The Department of Transportation has extended the comment period to April 10th following a public open house for the project earlier this month.

The city wants to provide an opportunity for those who were not able to attend the open house or heard about the project too late to meet the original deadline.  Comments should be sent via email to walkandbike@seattle.gov or you can call (206) 684-7583. 

The proposed changes will include:
• One lane of motor vehicle traffic in each direction (currently there are two)
• New two-way center turn lane
• New westbound bicycle lane and sharrow markings in a wide eastbound lane
• New pedestrian median islands at several intersections

Our original posting about these changes generated a record number of responses.  Magnolia drivers expressed concern about traffic problems on this heavily traveled route. The city expects to have a response completed by April 24th.  For more project information or to see a copy of the plans click here.
