Many of you have received a postcard in the mail announcing proposed changes to 7th Ave NW and NW 100th Street near the QFC Shopping Center. These changes are proposed to facilitate the new routing of the Rapid Ride Line “D” which we covered earlier.

The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) is proposing changes to 7th Avenue NW (between NW 100th Street and NW Holman Rd). The proposed changes include the following:

• Convert 7th Ave NW to one-way northbound between NW 100th Street and NW Holman Road
• Install curb, gutter and sidewalk on west side of 7th Avenue NW
• Install curb, gutter and sidewalk on south side of NW 100th Street (between NW 100th Place and 7th Ave NW)
• No parking on west side of 7th Avenue NW and south side of NW 100th Street

The proposed improvements are designed to support King County Metro’s Ballard RapidRide service which is scheduled to begin in fall 2012. Converting 7th Avenue NW to one-way will improve access to the RapidRide terminal.

Your comments on the proposed revisions would be appreciated.
