NW Naito Parkway is undergoing a street design change to improve safety conditions for people walking and bicycling.

As part of the West Quadrant Plan (adopted in March 2015) and the Bicycle Plan for 2030 (adopted in 2010), a bicycle lane will be added to a portion of NW Naito Parkway between Davis Street and the rail crossing near the Steel Bridge, connecting to the existing bike lanes at either end.

This design change will improve pedestrian safety as well, as it will effectively shorten the street crossing distance for people walking. Existing on-street parking will be unaffected by these changes.

In order to provide sufficient space for bike lanes, the single southbound auto lane will now continue from Ironside Terrace to Davis Street. In the northbound direction, a single auto lane will begin just north of Davis Street. A right turn only lane for motor vehicles to the Steel Bridge will be added.
