SEATTLE -- The city is already home to many pedestrians, but a new plan will make it a much friendlier place to walk.

Seattle currently ranks sixth on Walk Score's list of most walkable cities, but perhaps not for long. The Seattle City Council has passed a new master plan in hopes of reaching the top stop in the country.

The city has 2,000 miles of sidewalks in Seattle, but some neighborhoods are better off than others.

Rose Ferguson, a resident of the Holly Park neighborhood, says, the streets in her neighborhood have no sidewalks.

"It's like a parking lot instead," she said. "A sidewalk is a safe place to be, you know, for walking on the sidewalk."

But that will soon change under the city council's plan, which adds sidewalks, fixes those that are crumbling and adds more signs and signals to make crosswalks safer.

So many council members have worked on this plan over the past several years that when it passed unanimously on Monday, the council chamber erupted in applause

This master plan will cost more than $60 million over the next 20 years. Some of the money will come from the annual budget, but most will come from the Bridging the Gap levy voters passed three years ago for transportation projects.

"But I think really part of this is about a cultural change, figuring out that push that transportation is more than just about what happens in the middle of the roadway where the cars are," said council member Sally Clark.

Neighborhoods with no sidewalks or crumbling concrete will get priority under the new plan. Income level is also a factor.
