Project overview

We are working on a project to create a safe bike path on 2nd Street N, between Plymouth Ave N and Dowling Ave N.

This new bike path will be separate from the road to keep people who bike safe. This is because the current bike lanes on the road are not enough. At intersections with traffic lights, we'll make changes to make it safer for people on bikes and people who walk.

This project is not just about safety; it is also about making it easier for people who walk and bike in this area. We want to make it simple to get around and connect with other bike and walking paths in the city. Our project will connect to a new bike path at Dowling and 2nd Street N, and it will also connect to the upcoming Upper Harbor Regional Park. It will connect to other protected bike paths along 26th Ave N and Lowry Ave N.

This route is essential to the region, as it is part of the Regional Bicycle Transportation Network.
