CHAPTER 6 Figure 69. Hewitt Avenue. T- 6 Bicycle lanes on California Street. East -west bicycle corridors to and through downtown are also considered essential to attract more people to use this mode of travel. California Avenue is considered the prime candidate for an east -west bicycle route that will connect the Harborfront Trail to the Highway 2 Trestle on the east. A new traffic signal will be required at Broadway and California. Angle parking on California will need to be redesigned to parallel parking to accommodate designated bike lanes in each direction. T- 7 Complete Wall Street pedestrian connection to Everett Station. Pedestrian access from Everett Station to the downtown core must be improved to take advantage of the significant transit and rail services available. Improving the pedestrian connection on Wall Street east of Broadway to the Everett Station Multi -Modal Center via the Pacific Avenue underpass would complement the recent investment in the traffic signal at Broadway and provide better access to the Everett Events Center. T- 8 Transit -oriented street design on Hewitt and Rucker. The recent design of Hewitt and Wetmore Avenues as transit -oriented streets has maintained a high level of transit service in the downtown core resulting in increased ridership. As building redevelopment occurs to the west, more transit routes must operate on Hewitt Avenue west to Rucker Avenue to provide better service to new residents in the higher -density apartments and condos. Rucker Avenue itself should be designated a transit -oriented street south of Hewitt including use of Everett's wrought - iron shelter kiosks.
