Off -Street Shared -Use Paths <br />Shared -use paths are used by a variety of non -motorized users, including pedestrians, cyclists, <br />skaters, and runners. Shared -use paths are typically wider than an average sidewalk and paved <br />(asphalt or concrete). <br />There are approximately 45 miles of shared -use paths within city limits identified by the PWE <br />Transportation Planning section. In 2015, staff converted 44 miles of shared -used paths and rated <br />the conditions using MicroPaver. Shared -use path analysis in last years' report was based on <br />2011 surveys using the WSEXT rating methodology. With updated information a current <br />representation of this infrastructure may be shown in the following graphs and charts. An <br />important note is the increase of shared -use paths in a condition above a 90 PCI, in 2011 <br />approximately 19 miles were in this range and in 2015, 30 miles are in this range. <br />The City standards for shared -use paths require a concrete structure no less than six inches deep <br />and 12 feet wide. Paths designed, constructed or reconstructed to current standards are expected <br />to have a 50 year life. <br />26 <br />
