Promoting a pedestrian and bicycle-friendly city with streets, trails, and connections between neighborhoods and community focal points is a primary goal of Renton's 2024-2029 Business Plan.
However, many of Renton's streets and arterials were constructed before current design standards were implemented. They need sidewalks to allow safe passage for walkers, rollers, and strollers.
To help rectify this and reach the business plan's goal, the Public Works Transportation Division has launched a Comprehensive Walkway Plan. Renton residents are encourage to learn more about the project and complete the survey. The plan incudes an interactive map to identify neighborhoods needing repair and improvement for better safety and mobility.
The project team will prioritize the results, establish funding resources, and share that information with the city council.
