The Pedestrian Element of the Seattle Transportation Plan (STP) is a blueprint to create a more walkable Seattle and provides a suite of pedestrian improvements across the City. The intent is to focus resources on access to public schools, parks, and light rail, streetcar, and frequent transit networks12, in areas where walking conditions are difficult, and where people most need to be able to walk.  It highlights the needs of people walking and rolling and guides future investments to achieve STP goals.The process is based on an analysis of factors related to the STP’s goals of safety, equity, sustainability, mobility & economic vitality, livability, and maintenance & modernization. This data-driven prioritization framework helps the city provide targeted improvements that reflect community priorities, City policy objectives, and current data.  Throughout the life of the STP, there will be opportunities to evaluate what has been implemented and what can be prioritized in future funding cycles, within the context of the STP's goals, funding availability and project readiness, and other emergent needs. Decisions made as we craft regular STP Implementation Plans will determine the pace of STP Pedestrian Priority Investment Network implementation.  Refresh Cycle: None, Static.
