About the Program
The City Council authorized the Neighborhood Safety Program (NSP) in June 2014. The purpose of the Program is to bring neighbors and City staff together to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety in Kirkland. Since the program started, 88 projects have been completed (map linked(PDF, 1MB)).
Each year, there is a base total of $350,000 available for transportation-related capital projects citywide. A project itself must be under $75,000. Projects fall into the following categories:
- Bicycle facility: Bike lanes or trails;
- Crosswalks: New crosswalks, improved crosswalk ramps (ADA), and crosswalk islands;
- Intersection Improvement: Signage, parking, and pedestrian "bump outs;"
- Traffic Calming: Radar speed signs and traffic circles;
- Walkway and Trail: Gravel trails, steps, curb, and traffic delineators; and
- Streetlights: On existing utility pole or installing a light new pole.
Projects are restricted to City property, including streets, parks, community facilities, and the Cross Kirkland Corridor.
The program is a 7-month commitment, and projects are to be completed within 2-3 years thereafter.
