6th Avenue NW, between NW 43rd and NW 50th Streets

In November 2019, the first leg of the 6th Avenue Neighborhood Greenway gained funding via the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods’ Your Voice Your Choice program. Groundswell NW provided a microgrant to this group. In 2020, a portion of 6th Avenue NW will become a designated right-of-way, with bicycle-friendly speed humps, stop signs at east/west-bound intersections and 20 mph speed limit signs. People riding bikes can connect to the Burke Gilman Trail at NW 43rd Street.

This is a “Yes we can!!” story of neighbors coming together for a common cause. Back in 2016, residents of NW 49th Street noticed a lot of cut-through traffic that was creating a dangerous, uncontrolled intersection at 6th Avenue NW. Mapping software such as Google Maps and Waze had begun directing more traffic through the neighborhood.
