Community feedback:What weve heard so far Providing access for

area businesses is critical Concerns about increased traffic

congestion in the corridor

Landscaping should be easy to maintainand attractive

Bicycle facility should connect to a networkof bike routes

Current corridor is difficult to navigateas a pedestrian

Project should improve the appearance of thecorridor to welcome people to West Seattle

How will this project connect to otherbike facilities?
