NE 88th Street and the Street Racer Wannabes

NE 88th is a nice place to live, or rather, I wish it was.

The road bisects the lovely Curtin Creek, with tall trees that cast shade and enclose the space, making it a beautiful place to walk, if it weren't for the terrible road. Drivers like to use it as a shortcut from Padden, and it's become a hotspot for people with their suped-up trash cars to blare down the road at all hours of the night, engines backfiring the whole way.

Large stretches of the road lack sidewalks or any real curb at all, making pedestrian and bike navigation risky. Because of that, the sidewalks that do exist are rarely ever used. Plus, if one wants to access the nearby shopping center, one has to cross a busy, ugly, smelly, dangerous intersection.

What I'd like to see is more traffic calming features on 88th, and a full length sidewalk. It's a bit of a narrow road, so perhaps it could be made into a one-way going west. If this is achieved, I'm sure it would become a better, more comfortable place to live.

I think ‘Scenario A’ would make more sense flipping AW and Graden feeders. They have similar demographics and most AW boundary kids already go to Walden (Thousand Oaks) and most Graden boundary (Riss) already go to Lakeview so flipping those two schools on Scenario A would keep these kids where they likely already are at school and would keep close communities together (EL/Graden- Riss at Lakeview and AW/UC at Walden) and be less change for the kids.
