The Pedestrian Master Plan, whose mission is make Seattle the most walkable city in the nation, will be voted on by the full city council Sept. 21 after being passed unanimously by the council transportation committee and special committee on pedestrian safety.

"The plan before you today is evidence that Seattlites care about the critical role walking plays in sustaining the health of people and our communities in addition to the environment," Tracy Krawczyk, a member of the Pedestrian Master Plan team, said during the Sept. 15 vote.

The plan includes objectives, strategies and analysis that can help the city increase the safety of pedestrians and the vibrancy of walkable communities.

Work on the Pedestrian Master Plan started six years ago, and council member Nick Licata said it has been created in a way that is thorough but also open to council change in the future.

"That was an extraordinary effort on behalf of the staff and Pedestrian Master Plan," council member Jan Drago said during the vote.
