This project (TR0318) extends from 10th and "I" Street west to 8th and "A" Street and provides a vital connection of existing bike facilities on 10th Street west of "I" Street to bike lanes on the 8th Street Bridges.  The project elements will include conversion of 10th Street and "A" Street for street bicycle channelization and safety improvements to incorporate bicycle wayfinding signs/markings, buffered and non-buffered bike lanes, two-way protected bike lanes, traffic diverters, parking removal, vehicle lane width reduction, median channelization/turn restrictions, rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFB), new marked crosswalk, stop sign, reduced curb radii, median refuge island, and curb extensions/bulb-outs.  To safely transition bicyclists from 8th Street on to "A" Street a cutting edge Protected Intersection will be designed.  

This project supports the City's Comprehensive Plan as follows:

  • Goal (G-4C) "To provide a system of walking trails and bicycle paths to complement and coordinate with the existing street system and provide recreational opportunities and physical activity while reducing the dependence on traditional automobile transportation."
  • Policy (P4C-1) "Maximize bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure and other active transportation systems and improve sidewalk connectivity."

On July 15, 2025, City Council approved to award a Professional Services Agreement Contract, PSA-2025-14, to Transpo Group USA, of Kirkland, WA, in the not-to-exceed amount of $199,800, for design support services through September 2026.
