Bierney Creek Study 7/10/25
The UWSA requested this study in 2022. The data was collected in August of 2022. It is unknown why the results have taken so long to be shared. The Study was released in July of 2025 after the UWSA repeatedly requested the data.
Based on the results of the study, a Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacon (RRFB) is warranted at the Bierney Creek Road crossing. However, ADA-compliant infrastructure is not currently in place to support it's installation. Bringing this intersection up t o compliance will require funding that competes with District-Wide needs. MTD is carefully assessing how to make the resources available.
The UWSA sent a list of questions in response to this information on July 18th. As of this posting MDT has not acknowledged that email. 7/28/2025

Adams Street Study 8/8/2023
The UWSA requested this study in 2022. The report was completed in August of 2023.
The study concluded that no further improvements are recommended at this time. Even if further improvements were justified, existing conditions prevent further pedestrian safety and intersection improvements without addressing the lack of pedestrian facilities, local access, and parking on the west side of US 93 and north of Bills Road.
