Operating Fund Impacts
This project develops S/SW 7th St as a key east west bicycle route into the downtown:between Oakesdale Ave S and Burnett Ave S.This project will install a multi use path on S 7th St,between Shattuck and Burnett
Ave S,and install intersection improvements at multiple intersections along the corridor from Shattuck Ave S to Oakesdale Ave SW.The intersection improvements from Shattuck Ave S westward along this corridor will
improve bicycle facilities and intersection operations to provide upgraded signage to bicyclists and will help simplify bicycle movements through complex intersections.Bicycle improvements include push button
activation,green bike lanes through conflict/crossing zones,and pavement markings.This project will also upgrade an existing marked crosswalk with flashing beacons with higher visibility technology.In 2019,Sound
Transit awarded 1M toward design and construction toward the multi use trail between Shattuck and Talbot.In 2020,1.45M of STP FHWA funds was awarded for FY 2024 for construction of the multi use path
between Shattuck and Burnett Ave S and intersection improvements.
Rationale
This segment of the S 7th St corridor connects Talbot Rd S SR 515)with Rainier Ave S SR 167).This segment of S 7th St is part of a designated east west pedestrian/bike route through the City's commercial core and
an important link between regional trails.The South Renton Neighborhood Study has identified South 7th St as needing streetscape improvements.The Trails and Bicycle Master Plan Update identified SW 7th St/S 7th
St as a good alternate/parallel route as the L2S Trail TIP 20 34)is developed.With the expansion of the South Renton Transit Center and Bus Rapid Transit BRT)implementation,S 7th St is an important non
motorized link to the downtown core.
