Anthony wrote to ask what is happening on Fifth Avenue Northeast:

“I noticed some preliminary lane markings on 5th Ave NE between the 9700 and 9800 blocks. It looks as though a bike lane might be added. Do you know the details on this project and how it is going to affect street parking along 5th Ave? Thanks!!”

That’s a chunk of Fifth that’s quite steep, running down to Northgate Mall and Thornton Place on Maple Leaf’s north side.

The city’s Brian Dougherty responds:

“The Seattle Department of Transportation is installing a bicycle lane in the uphill direction with shared lane markings (sharrows) in the downhill or flat sections of 5th Avenue NE between NE 85th Street and NE 115th Street.

“There will not be any reduction in the number of travel lanes, although the new general travel lanes will be slightly narrower than before.  There will be some temporary parking restrictions during installation.  The project should be complete by the end of this month if weather allows.”
