This week there were two design review meetings to present proposals for improving traffic safety near the new to-be-built Pinehurst School. You can see the slide show and other materials from the meeting here.
The plan calls for adding some sidewalks (over $1 million), and changes to Pinehurst Way lanes. Below is a synopsis.
Next steps are:
- Business outreach (February, March 2015)
- Outdoor Drop-In Sessions (spring and summer 2015)
- Booth at Pinehurstfest (July 2015)
Implementation Timeline
2015 Short-term improvements, such as changes to signs and pavement markings
2015 Design for civil improvements
2016 Civil improvement construction
SDOT will develop a funding strategy for longer term improvements

To my eye the intersection at 115th and Pinehurst does not seem adequately depicted. There are many streets merging there that are not shown and should be.
