Everett to soon restrict traffic on four segments of streets
EVERETT — Four streets in different neighborhoods are set for bike, pedestrian, scooter, skate and local access only.
Similar to Seattle, Edmonds and Bothell, Everett plans to block through traffic, starting Thursday. Everett’s Healthy Streets Program will affect stretches of Commercial Avenue, Hoyt Avenue and Silver Lake Road. It’ll end once Everett moves to phase four of the state’s Safe Start plan.
People who live and work along the segments can still get in and out, and emergency response vehicles and delivery drivers can access the streets as well.
City leaders aim to encourage active transportation — replacing vehicle trips with non-motorized jaunts “to get out, get fresh air and get moving.”
