Chapter 17H.010 Street Development Standards
Section 17H.010.060 Street Width - General
- Minimum curb-to-curb street widths are shown in Tables 17H.010-1 and 17H.010-2. Street width varies based on the required street elements including number of lanes, on-street parking, bike lane, median, and turn lanes.
- Generally, street design shall allow for a twenty-feet clear width for emergency vehicle access. New streets with less than a twenty-feet clear width shall provide emergency vehicle staging areas as described in SMC 17H.010.140.
- The clear width may be reduced to fourteen feet on each side of a median for distances of fifty linear feet or less. This may be used for purposes of traffic calming, crosswalks or neighborhood entry medians.
- Where infill development occurs on partially constructed blocks, the proposed street width may match the existing street width for the rest of that block.
