SURVEY: West Seattle Junction Association wants your thoughts on SW Alaska’s possibly semi-carless future

As a followup to last week’s walking tour (WSB coverage here) about SDOT‘s plan for Junction street changes when light rail arrives, the West Seattle Junction Association wants your thoughts on the plan. SDOT first circulated its concepts in a survey on which we reported in 2024. Nested in that 2024 survey – as detailed in this PDF we obtained at the time – were the stirrings of some potentially dramatic changes to SW Alaska, also seen on page 46 in this SDOT document. That in particular is what WSJA is focusing on with their new survey, which they asked us to share with you. Answer the new WSJA survey here.
