Kennydale Gateway
Mr. Baker,
Thank you for your comments related to Kennydale Gateway (LUA22-000011) wherein you raised concerns regarding
the safety of pedestrian and bicycle traffic with the proposed project. Your comments will be added to the public record
for consideration by the reviewing official.
Below is a three-part overlay consisting of a 2021 aerial image, the current I-405 Renton to Bellevue Widening design,
and the current Kennydale Gateway project. As currently proposed, the designs would allow cyclists to turn left onto
Seahawks Way without having to make a U-turn in a roundabout.
Thank you for your interest in this project. Let me know if you have any additional questions.
Regards,
2

For your consideration
My concern continues to be how pedestrian and bicycle traffic will be made safe with the changes.
The traffic volume data was taken March 1st and certainly is not remotely representative of
pedestrian and bicycle traffic in days that are dry and warm. Many of the north bound cyclist
currently turn left onto Seahawks Way and with this proposal they would have to "U" turn in a
roundabout that includes a freeway onramp and offramp not to mention traffic just crossing I-405.
How can that possibly be safe????
5 roundabouts to navigate driving our pedaling from lower Kennydale to drive north on I-405 or
pedal north on Lk Wa Blvd. Wow!
Thank you
Tom Baker
