My son and I went through this terrifying intersection every morning during bike-to-school month. I marvelled at how far Seattle has to go before being truly bicycle-friendly. Kudos to Seattle resident Scott Cooper for getting this petition rolling.

I have a competing NPSF grant application that involves THIS SAME INTERSECTION. Clearly, this intersection/crossing needs attention. I hope that the city can set aside money on top of the NPSF grant money to take a good look at this area and make improvements.

much needed safety improvement considering the North side of the overpass has no sidewalk

from my personal experience, this intersection definitely needs to be made more safe for pedestrians.

Right now this area is serving no one well- foremost the pedestrians and cyclists that have to negotiate through this underdesigned area at unnecessary personal risk, and to the drivers who aren't being given clues (stoplights, signage) about the risk of this area. Thanks for doing this, it's much needed.

Much needed, almost hit by cars frequently at the E/W crossing on 70th and 8th, need attention there too.

I live at 12th and 68th and in my experience crossing I-5 via 70th street is very dangerous for pedestrians. The intersection at 70th and 8th NE should be a priority for redesign. I have almost been hit by cars many times as they pull up to 70th aiming to either turn or continue straight onto the I-5 onramp without looking for pedestrians. Many residents from Green Lake will need to safely cross I-5 to get to the new Roosevelt light rail, but the improvements shouldn't wait until then. The affordable housing complex a block away from this intersection at Green Lake means this is an intersection the city should prioritize for pedestrians.

I strongly support a crosswalk at NE 70th and 8th Avenue. My family travels this route to Green Lake park often and presently do so without a crosswalk. We would certainly feel safer with a crosswalk.

My wife and I strongly support this proposal. We have lived at 7108 9th Ave NE for 28 years and cross NE 70th at this point several times per week. A crosswalk and light are badly needed!

I live a block away from this intersection and cross it almost daily. I almost always feel like I'm taking my life in my hands, not to mention that f my 4 year old daughter.

I walk across that very cross every day. It's not safe and the nearest cross walk is over 1/4 of a mile away. This would make a marked improvement in safety for the neighborhood.
