13th St Safety and Walkability Study (Update)
13th St Safety and Walkability Study (Update)
The 13th Street Walkability Study will include analysis to determine how to best utilize the existing right-of-way to focus on safety for all modes, including vehicles, transit, bicycles, and pedestrians. The project will result in an updated Walkability Plan that will revisit the conclusions of the 2018 Study by revisiting traffic data along the corridor, reaching out to local stakeholders, and incorporating recommendations from previous efforts such as the Vision Zero Action Plan and the Active Mobility Plan. The Study was initiated by the Mayor’s office and Planning Department.
Project Features
The project will result in a study to determine the ideal reconfiguration of the 13th Street Corridor that will provide equitable and attractive conditions for all street users without unduly hampering the flow of downtown traffic. Key considerations are expected to include impacts to:
- Traffic congestion
- Multimodal safety
- Bicyclist and pedestrian amenities
- Transit interaction
- Preliminary Study: Fall 2025
- Public Engagement: Late Winter 2025
- Final Walkability Study Report: Spring 2026
