<h1><a class="header" href="#west-seattle-mitigations" id="west-seattle-mitigations">West Seattle mitigations</a></h1>
|
|
<p><em>Draft, updated June 23, 2020 by Dustin Carlino (<a href="dabreegster@gmail.com">dabreegster@gmail.com</a>)</em></p>
|
|
<p>In March 2020, the West Seattle bridge was closed due to cracks forming. As of
|
|
May, COVID-19's impact on commuting means the area still hasn't seen how the
|
|
area will handle losing the main route to the rest of Seattle. A local group,
|
|
HPAC, published a list of
|
|
<a href="https://www.westsideseattle.com/robinson-papers/2020/05/04/highland-park-action-coalition-calls-seattle-officials-traffic">requests to SDOT</a>
|
|
to prepare the area for these changes.</p>
|
|
<p>This page will try to explore some of the problems and solutions from HPAC's
|
|
document using <a href="https://abstreet.org">A/B Street</a>, a traffic simulator designed
|
|
to explore the impacts of changes like this on different modes of
|
|
transportation.</p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p><em><strong>NOTE:</strong></em> You might want to read <a href="https://github.com/dabreegster/abstreet/blob/master/old_docs/how_it_works.md">how A/B Street
|
|
works</a>
|
|
first.</p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|

<h2><a class="header" href="#16th-ave-sw-and-sw-holden-st" id="16th-ave-sw-and-sw-holden-st">16th Ave SW and SW Holden St</a></h2>
|
|
<p>HPAC has been asking for a protected left-turn phase at this intersection. I'm
|
|
unfamiliar with this intersection and currently unable to scout in-person, so
|
|
I'm blindly guessing the traffic signal currently has just two phases:</p>
|
|
<p><img src="existing_diagram.gif" alt="existing_diagram" /></p>
|
|
<p>From watching the traffic, it seems like the east/west direction is busier, with
|
|
lots of eastbound traffic headed towards WA-509. Holden St has no turn lanes, so
|
|
a protected left turn phase makes sense. Let's make the change and see what
|
|
happens:</p>
|
|
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6tooJaZLa0Q" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>
|
|
<p>Unfortuately, we can't evaluate the change yet, because the simulation gets
|
|
stuck with unrealistic traffic jams in other parts of the map. This is mostly
|
|
due to data quality issues in OpenStreetMap and incorrectly guessed traffic
|
|
signal timings. These problems can be fixed with the help of somebody familiar
|
|
with the area.</p>
|
|
<h2><a class="header" href="#re-evaluate-arterials" id="re-evaluate-arterials">Re-evaluate arterials</a></h2>
|
|
<p>The 9th item from HPAC's list asks for measuring the amount of east-west traffic
|
|
to figure out what streets people are using as arterials. That's an easy
|
|
analysis, using the <em>throughput</em> layer.</p>
|
|
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/yzp9c7gHhOI" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>
|
|
<p>By 6am, the busiest streets include Admiral Way, S Charlestown, SW Genesee, SW
|
|
Alaska, SW Holden, and SW Roxbury St. Again, it's necessary to first fix data
|
|
quality problems and run a full day before doing more analysis.</p>
|
|
<p>Once the simulation is running smoothly, A/B Street can be used to make changes
|
|
-- like lowering speed limits, adding a protected left turn phase, or converting
|
|
part of the road into a bus lane -- and evaluate the effects on individual trips
|
|
and aggregate groups.</p>
|
|
<h2><a class="header" href="#repair-the-bridge" id="repair-the-bridge">Repair the bridge</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Community proposals now includes a "repair the bridge" option, which should
|
|
restore things to how they were before March 2020. This is useful as a baseline,
|
|
to explore what traffic patterns were like before the closure.</p>
