The final report is now available below.
Purpose
State Route 900/Martin Luther King Jr. Way South in Skyway is a heavily-traveled commuter corridor with approximately 32,000 vehicles using this section each day. However, it lacks complete sidewalks for pedestrian connectivity between residences and community hubs. We are conducting a corridor study to assess pedestrian and traveler safety, multimodal access and environmental needs on SR 900 between 57th Avenue South and the Renton city limits. This study will document the community vision and strategies for improvements.
Online open house
With the help of partners from King County and the Skyway community, we gathered feedback from community members and the traveling public through an open house and survey.
We hosted the virtual open house through the Engage WSDOT website, which provided corridor maps, an overview of existing conditions, aggregated crash data from 2015 to 2019, and an online survey.
The online open house was viewed 3,188 times, and the survey was completed by 196 respondents who shared information about how and why they use the corridor. They identified which sections need the most improvement, and ideas and concepts to address their concerns.
