<h1><a class="header" href="#lake-washington-blvd-stay-healthy-street" id="lake-washington-blvd-stay-healthy-street">Lake Washington Blvd Stay Healthy Street</a></h1>
|
|
<p><em>Draft, updated May 7, 2020 by Dustin Carlino (<a href="mailto:dabreegster@gmail.com">dabreegster@gmail.com</a>)</em></p>
|
|
<p>In April 2020, Seattle Department of Transportation started rolling out
|
|
<a href="https://sdotblog.seattle.gov/2020/04/16/announcing-stay-healthy-streets/">Stay Healthy Streets</a>,
|
|
restricting roads to through-traffic to give people walking and biking more
|
|
space for social distancing.
|
|
<a href="http://seattlegreenways.org/socialdistancingstreets/">Seattle Neighborhood Greenways</a>
|
|
soon proposed extending this to a
|
|
<a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=1HQMnagRf8EbS1nouqCMLl4LZr0QE8VrC&usp=sharing">130-mile network</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>Selecting the streets requires some planning:</p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>These streets were selected to amplify outdoor exercise opportunities for
|
|
areas with limited open space options, low car ownership and routes connecting
|
|
people to essential services and food take out. We also ensured street
|
|
closures did not impact newly opened food pick up loading zones, parking
|
|
around hospitals for service for health care professionals, and bus routes.</p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
<p>I've spent the last two years building <a href="https://abstreet.org">A/B Street</a>,
|
|
software to explore the impacts of changes like this on different modes of
|
|
transportation. So, let's try implementing part of the proposed network and see
|
|
what happens!</p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p><strong><em>NOTE:</em></strong> You might want to read <a href="../how_it_works.html">how A/B Street works</a>
|
|
first.</p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
<h2><a class="header" href="#lake-washington-blvd" id="lake-washington-blvd">Lake Washington Blvd</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Let's start with one part of the proposal, closing Lake Washington Blvd to cars
|
|
through the Arboretum. There's already a multi-use trail alongside this stretch,
|
|
but its width makes it difficult to maintain 6 feet from people. There are some
|
|
parking lots that become inaccessible with this proposal, but they're currently
|
|
closed anyway.</p>
|
|

<h3><a class="header" href="#first-attempt" id="first-attempt">First attempt</a></h3>
|
|
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PU0iT-_3-es" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>
|
|
<p>Let's get started! If you want to follow along,
|
|
<a href="../howto/index.html">install A/B Street</a>, open sandbox mode, and switch the map
|
|
to Lake Washington corridor. Zoom in on the southern tip of the Arboretum and
|
|
hop into edit mode. We can see Lake Washington Blvd just has one travel lane in
|
|
each direction here. Click each lane, convert it to a bike lane, and repeat
|
|
north until Foster Island Road.</p>
|
|
<p>When we leave edit mode, the traffic simulation resets to midnight. Nothing
|
|
really interesting happens until 5 or 6am, so we'll speed up time. Watching the
|
|
section of road we edited, we'll only see pedestrians and bikes use this stretch
|
|
of road. If we want, we can click an individual person and follow along their
|
|
journey.</p>
|
|
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LSCHeDi5484" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>
|
|
<p>Something's weird though. There's lots of traffic cutting northbound through the
|
|
neighborhood, along 29th, Ward, and 28th. We can open up the throughput layer to
|
|
find which roads have the most traffic. More usefully, we can select "compare
|
|
before edits" to see what roads are getting more or less traffic because of the
|
|
road we modified. As expected, there's much less traffic along Lake Wash Blvd,
|
|
but it's also clear that lots of cars are now cutting through 26th Ave E.</p>
|
|
<h3><a class="header" href="#traffic-calming" id="traffic-calming">Traffic calming</a></h3>
|
|
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qAf5IAMbpcU" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>
|
|
<p>Let's say you want to nudge traffic to use 23rd Ave, the nearest north/south
|
|
arterial, instead. (A/B Street is an unopinionated tool; if you have a different
|
|
goal in mind, try using it for that instead.) In this simulation, drivers pick
|
|
the fastest route, so we could try lowering speed limits or make some of the
|
|
residential streets connecting to Madison one-way, discouraging through-traffic.
|
|
In reality, the speed limit changes could be implemented through
|
|
<a href="https://streetsillustrated.seattle.gov/design-standards/trafficcalming/">traffic calming</a>
|
|
or cheap, temporary alternatives.</p>
|
|
<h2><a class="header" href="#next-steps" id="next-steps">Next steps</a></h2>
|
|
<p>I'm working to model "local access only" roads in A/B Street, and I'll describe
|
|
how to measure the impact on travel times. Stay tuned to see more of the
|
|
<a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=1HQMnagRf8EbS1nouqCMLl4LZr0QE8VrC&usp=sharing">proposed network</a>
|
|
simulated, and get in touch if you'd like to help out!</p>
