This crossing is the first of many pedestrian improvements happening in Uptown over the next two years, and the first step towards a Thomas St. Neighborhood Greenway connecting from the waterfront across the John Coney Overpass to Seattle Center and continuing east across South Lake Union. Once complete, this route will be the only continuous E-W corridor that prioritizes people walking and biking between South Lake Union and Uptown neighborhoods, and will be a relaxing, park-like respite for a bustling neighborhood.

From SDOT:
1st Ave N is a principal arterial roadway with two through
lanes in the northbound direction and on-street parking
on both sides of the street. Over 20 pedestrians cross
this location on both the north and south legs in an hour.
Thomas St is a non-arterial street with on-street parking on
both sides. The intersection has stop sign control for traffic
on Thomas St. This location sees high pedestrian traffic
leading to the Seattle Center located to the east of the
intersection.
This conceptual design includes the installation of marked
crosswalks on both the north and south legs and an RRFB
system. New ADA ramps are also proposed.
