Pedestrian Connections

Northgate's pedestrian infrastructure reveals significant gaps, particularly in key arterial segments like Meridian, 1st, and 15th Avenues, where sidewalks are missing. About 25% of residential areas south of NE 94th St lack safe walking paths. The pedestrian crossing at Roosevelt Way and Northgate Way poses challenges with short walk signals and long wait times. While over 75% of arterial streets have sidewalks on both sides, widths often fall short of recommended measures, and issues like tree competition for pedestrian space persist. Urgent improvements are necessary for safety and accessibility.
