Public Workshop

Thank you for joining us at the Thursday January 23 public workshop at Uptic Studios in the project area. We are working on updates based on feedback received at the workshop and online.

Project Purpose

The purpose of this study is to evaluate and identify a recommended alignment for Phase Two of the Pacific Avenue Greenway.

A neighborhood greenway is a type of bicycle facility on a low speed, low volume neighborhood street that prioritizes pedestrians and cyclists. The Pacific Avenue Neighborhood Greenway will provide a safe route for people walking, bicycling and rolling between Downtown and the University District. Design and construction of the Pacific Avenue Neighborhood Greenway is divided into two phases:

  1. Phase One: Howard Street to Sherman Street
  2. Phase Two: Sherman Street to Perry Street. This study focuses on Phase 2.



Phase One

Phase One of the Pacific Avenue Greenway, which runs along Pacific Avenue between Howard Street and Sherman Street, is already planned and funded. It is designed to include two new traffic signals with audible pedestrian countdown signals at the Division/Pacific and Browne/Pacific intersections, ADA curb ramp retrofits, and curb bump outs at select intersections. This phase of the greenway is anticipated to include the following:

  • Approximately 3,750 feet of bicycle boulevard
  • Way finding signage and markings
  • Approximately 700 feet of buffered bike lanes
  • Approximately 200 feet of green pavement markings
  • Traffic signals at Division/Pacific and Browne/Pacific

Phase Two

Phase Two, which is the focus of this study, consists of the next section from Sherman Street eastward to the Ben Burr trail, under the Hamilton overpass.

Study Area - Phase Two

When complete, the Pacific Avenue Greenway will provide improved and safe bicycle and pedestrian connectivity east of Sherman Street, connecting cyclists to the South University District, Sprague Avenue, and the Ben Burr trail.
