ABSTRACT
The Mercer Corridor is an integral part of a work serving Seattle’s urban neighborhoods just
north of downtown. This corridor has been the subject of decades of study with a wide range of alternatives. However,
creating an acceptable solution has plicated by the range of stakeholders, disagreement on project objectives
and high costs. Previous alternatives typically focused on getting through the South Lake Union area to get to the
Seattle Center - a regional arts and entertainment center – and surrounding neighborhoods to the west and north, with
little consideration of how it serves the South Lake Union neighborhood itself. Changing land uses within South Lake
Union has been a catalyst for developing a solution that works for a diverse stakeholder group, including the immediate
neighborhood. The purpose of the Mercer Corridor project is to improve local safety, access, and circulation within the
neighborhood for vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians, and provide for more efficient movement of traffic and freight
through the corridor. This project would better modate anticipated urban density in the area as well as anticipated
regional and local traffic growth by improving the efficiency of the available work and providing more direct
connections from I-5 into and through South Lake Union for freight and general traffic.
