+1, we also live on 244th. As the number of houses have increased I see many people (many with kids and pets) walking along the side of the road between sidewalk segments and have witnessed a number of near misses. Please connect these neighborhoods to the existing sidewalk network to allow families to get exercise and safely get to the resources and infrastructure located here.

@Sammamish city, I had requested a stop sign on 244th and NE 24th St since it serves the purpose for two communities (Astera & Deveraux).

That request got denied, but the issue of unsafe road crossing, inability to walk along the road, speeding cars etc still remain. Please look into both issues as part of this request

+1 lots of kids in this neighborhood and we need better connectivity to existing sidewalks.

We live in the Astera community and the lack of a sidewalk is proving to be extremely dangerous for us and our kids. The road is extremely narrow, and with speeding cars it is unsafe to walk alongside nor cross the road. We have also experienced a couple of misses and we need to act now to prevent a drastic incident. Our kids are unsafe and we need to change this at the earliest. The road has sidewalks intermittently all along and all of them need to be connected. It is crucial that this is addressed at the earliest so as to keep all the communities and their people safe!

+1 very dangerous even for adults

+1 on this request. I am part of the newly built Astera community and the lack of a sidewalk is proving to be extremely dangerous for us and our kids. The road is extremely narrow, and with speeding cars, it is unsafe to walk alongside nor cross the road. The road has sidewalks intermittently all along and all of them need to be connected. It is crucial that this is addressed at the earliest so as to keep all the communities and their people safe. Hoping this work is picked up soon!

+1. We live in Astera community (NE 24th ST/244th AVE NE). We have 2 young kids, one already attending the elementary school and another one coming up in couple of years. Not only the lack of side walk between NE 24th ST and NE 25th ST is proving to be scary to have the kids walk to the bus stop using the restricted buffer, but also the remaining patches of missing side walks along 244th Ave NE around this area in either direction is making it hazardeous to walk along this road for both kids and adults.

Looking forward for a fix for this.

Your sidewalk request will be added to our list of potential future projects addressing gaps or extensions to sidewalks. This corridor is identified for future road widening with sidewalks, but these improvements are not currently budgeted.

Your request to the City of Sammamish has been closed at this time. Please let us know if you have any questions by commenting on the request. Thank you!

+ 1. For the families living in Astera, the current roads are unsafe to walk on, given the lack of sidewalks. In fact, multiple patches are missing all through 244th. This is an immediate problem that needs to be addressed as the residents are unable to safely walk and access any nearby resources. Hoping to hear a timeline for this to get addressed.

+1 Have two kids and scared about their walking on a high traffic road without sidewalk.

How can citizens contribute to prioritising this work with Sammamish city? Is there a projects review meeting or some other mechanism for us to provide input?
