Seattle – People in the Ballard neighborhood in Seattle say that the 8th Avenue has become too dangerous for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers.
They ask the city for road improvements to make the main thoroughfare more fascinated for everyone.
The home surveillance video provided to Komo News emphasizes what neighbors call the main problem with the visibility of those trying to cross 8 from the surrounding neighborhoods between pounds and 70th streets. The cameras captured everything from people who failed to stop for pedestrians to others who go to stop only on time.
The Ballard-Fremont Greenways band put signs in the Ballard neighborhood, reading “Fix8th.com”.
This is a petition website where a group collects signatures to improve their street for a neighborhood. They insist on paying the amendments to the Ministry of Transport in Seattle (SDOT).
It didn’t take long for our Komo News team at the angle of 8th Avenue and 51st street to see people rolling on the other side of the street, from families with strollers to dog walkers.
“We cross this street almost every day, so I would like to see more improvements, potentially more intersections,” said resident Cameron Hayen.
Near the 65th street, this is a challenge for cyclists to avoid traffic, as there are parked cars and drivers in the goodwill line that block the bigger part of the bicycle lane.
Ballard-Fremont Greenways spokesman said there are recent 3-Avenue improvements, with the addition of speed pillows and more intersections, more drivers already use 8th avenue as a major thoroughfare.
It has become something like a highway, welcoming speeds and other dangers.
“I am determined to bring intersections to the 51st and 53rd to clean the parking lot of goodwill to make it more fascinating for the cyclists who rode up north from the 65th, and to make sure that The intersection of the 70th and 8th Avenue is more forthcoming for all users, “City City Board member Dan Stros told Como, adding that he was in conversations with SDOT to discuss the necessary amendments.
He said some problems can be discussed next year, while others may be part of a perennial project, depending on the planning and construction schedules. The Council of the Council also looks at whether the speed cameras can eventually be placed on 8th.
“I will not give up until we achieve these safety improvements,” he added.
Ballard-Fremont Greenways said 400 people have signed their petition.
Komo News is working to get a response from SDOT about what changes, if any, could be made on the 8th avenue next year.
