The typology of the vehicular circulation in the west Campus can be divided into thr
catalogues, the analysis of the density of traffic flow illustrate the current condition
interms of accessbility, parking strategy, noise level, air pollution, and possiblity of
traffic accident.
The following 5 routes are identified as princile aterial:
West - East direction: NE Campus parkway, and NE Pacific Street
North - South direction: Roosevelt Way NE, University Way NE, and 15th Ave NE
As the traffic flow reduces, the following routes served as minor circultion:
West - East direction: NE 41th Street, NE 40th Street, and NE Boat Street
North - South direction 12th Ave NE, and Brooklyn NE

5. Improve bus transfer terminus and layover facilities
6. Increase east/west bus traffic to ease flows on 45th Street
CAR:
7. Extend 12th Avenue NE street connection across NE Campus Park
8. Improve traffic flow at signals
BICYCLE
9.Connecting bike lanes between University Bridge and adjacent stree
provide clear routes for safe access
10.Add bike lanes to Campus Parkway NE11. Develop Brooklyn Ave as a North/South bike corridor
12. Widen Burke Gilman Trail to accomodate high volumes around UW
13. Improve intersection at Eastlake and Furman to improve safety
PEDESTRIAN:
14. Approved green street development (per Seattle Neighborhoods)
15. Pedestrian enhancements (Mahlum Design)

Pedestrian System PerformanceThe evaluation of the pedestrian system in the University area focused on theprovision of sidewalk facilities, the adequacy of space between the pedestrianfacilities and adjacent vehicle traffic and the degree of ease for pedestrians tocross streets at signalized intersections. Performance measures for pedestrianfacilities were defined based on their relationship to the street and adjacent landuses. Specific thresholds, tied to the adjacent land uses were set for eachperformance measure. To evaluate the pedestrian system, the analysis appliedthe following performance measures:
Pedestrian walking space: The percentage of pedestrian facilities(sidewalk only) that meets the minimum width as described by theRight-of-Way Improvement Manual.
Pedestrian facilities: The percentage of pedestrian facilities that meetsthe Right-of-Way Improvement Manual guidelines for sidewalk,planting strip and other spaces that separate moving vehicles andpedestrians such as on-street parking, and bike lanes.
Ease of street crossings at intersections: Two measures are used: 1) Thenumber of vehicles conflicting with pedestrians, such as right-turningand left-turning vehicles in a permissible signal phase, and 2) the lengthof the traffic signal cycles.
Pedestrian Walking Space
The basic facilities for pedestrian travel within an urban environment aresidewalk and crosswalks. The minimum sidewalk width required by Rightof-Way Improvement Manual (Chapter 4.11 Sidewalks) is 6 feet. The performancemeasure calculates, by street type, the percentage of the sidewalks that aregreater than the minimum 6-foot sidewalk width. The following formula wasused to calculate the percentage of the adequacy of walking space:
Percent Adequate Walking Space = SUM (the length of the blockface having averaged sidewalk width greater than 6 feet) / (thelength of pedestrian segment) X 100.
This level of service indicator provides an overall view about the adequacy ofsidewalks within the UATAS study area. Table 2 defines the LOS and thresholdsfor adequacy of sidewalks. The thresholds vary based upon the street type
35
City of Seattle University Area Transportation Action SDraft 2/6/2008 P
classifications. For Local Connector streets, a threshold of LOS B is requiredother street types have a LOS C threshold.
Table 2. Level of Service for Adequacy of Walking Space (AWS-LOS)
Level of Service Percent Meeting Threshold
AWS-LOS A 95 to 100 percent
AWS -LOS B 90 to 95 percent
AWS -LOS C 85 to 90 percent
AWS -LOS D 80 to 85 percent
AWS -LOS E 70 to 80 percent
AWS -LOS F less than 70 percent
ThresholdsLOS B for Regional Connector, Commercial Connector, Main Street/Mixed Use and GreenLOS C for Local Connector
Higher levels of service (LOS A or B) indicate adequate sidewalks. Lower leof service may require improvements to correct substandard facilities. Thisindicator addresses pedestrian facilities at a macro-scale level, and does notaddress important issues such as compliance with the Americans with DisaAct (curb ramps), sidewalk maintenance or other facility issues. Figure 3 shthe sidewalk widths along individual segments (blocks) of University area types. Figure 4 displays these segments relative to meeting the threshold
standards for each street type.
