Project # 303274-LU / 150 NE 116th St

Gentlemen:

It appears from the site plan that this staging facility will impede the passage of bicycles between the 1st Ave. NE bridge and NE 116th St.  Please be advised that this east-west corridor is a vital commuter route and that it is heavily used by cyclists and pedestrians.   There is no other bicycle / pedestrian crossing of I-5 between 105th and 130th –  and neither of those crossings have bike lanes.  If you are going to take this connection out of service (for up to 5 years!) you need to provide a safe alternative.
