Primary Street Crossings (161st Avenue NE, Leary Way, 166th Avenue NE, 170th Avenue NE) These streets are high traffic crossings. The character of these crossings is that the trail is crossing the road, and trail users are expected to stop and wait for the appropriate time to cross, likely as part of a signalized crossing. While three of these four streets exist, when the Connector crossing is completed there should be intuitive cues to provide safe crossings, including signals, signage, lighting, and crosswalk markings and materials.
Secondary Street Crossings (164th Avenue NE, Avondale Way) These are new through streets planned as part of DEWCS and can have a different character and lower traffic volume and speeds from primary street crossings. The character of these crossings is to create a “slow zone” where the trail crosses the road, yet the road also feels it crosses the trail. The approach for this street is to make it a “shared street” where spatial treatments result in cars intuitively slowing, and pedestrians are mixing and crossings are welcomed. Trail crossings of these streets may or may not require signalization in the near term, although signalization will likely be required upon construction of
