City to convert one lane of Aurora Ave N into new bike lane along Green Lake
SEATTLE - Following input from the community, the Seattle Department of Transportation will build a new bike lane along the western edge of Green Lake as part of the Green Lake Outer Loop project.
The Green Lake Outer Loop will provide more options for people walking, running, or biking and will create better connections to surrounding neighborhoods.
The project will create a new protected bike path along Aurora Ave N between N 63rd St and W Green Lake Drive N. It will also remove the northbound vehicle travel lane on W Green Lake Drive N and add a two-way biking path on the lake side of the street.
“Green Lake is a regional gem enjoyed by thousands of people daily including myself,” said SDOT Interim Director Greg Spotts. “The new outer loop design was co-created with the community. The project will improve the park experience by repurposing a lane of Aurora Ave N into an active space for people to enjoy."

Glad to see it's protected. Drivers tend to haul ass on that part of Aurora.
