Reader survey for Nickerson ‘road diet’

Although Nickerson Street is on the other side of the ship canal, we wanted to bring your attention to a proposed change. Our sister site, Magnolia Voice has been covering the proposed “road diet” for Nickerson Street, which has led to a passionate debate.

A few weeks ago the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) announced that this summer Nickerson Street will change to include one driving lane in each direction and a center two-way turn lane. The new configuration will reduce the number of car lanes and add an uphill bicycle lane. The downhill traffic lane will have shared lane markings for bicycles.

Magnolia Voice has authored a quick one-question survey about the proposed “road diet.” You can get to the reader survey here.
