(*note early start time due to library location hours)
As folks are starting to get out and about, gearing up for spring and summer walking and rolling, SDOT will be our guest this month to talk about the future for the Delridge/Highland Park Stay Healthy Street network. All users of the routes in question are welcome, regardless of where you live.
These routes were put in place during the pandemic to broaden access to safe outdoor spaces. Most often they were installed along existing or planned Neighborhood Greenways. Streets being considered for changes include portions of 21st Ave SW, 15th Ave SW, 17th Ave SW, 11th Ave SW, SW Webster and SW Trenton noted in dashed purple lines on this map.
We understand that Planners want to hear:
- What part of the network should be kept and improved?
- What kind of barriers, amenities and signage are preferred?
- What part(s) should return to general usage?
We will also expect to have Seattle Police Department representatives on hand to answer community questions and hear any concerns.
Look forward to seeing folks in person!
General announcements:
Just in!! We have an Update on “The HUMM”. From concerned resident Matthew H who has been leading outreach on this quality of life issue:
“I’ve been in touch with CalPortland and they conceded their industrial vacuums are creating noise. The mufflers they installed wore out faster than they thought they would. They assured me that the new mufflers would be installed by the end of the month.”
For those not aware, or new to the area. These huge vacuums are used by the concrete supply companies along the Duwamish Waterway to unload powdered materials shipped here to use in their products. Hopefully they are able to get these repaired shortly as promised!
From SPD:
The Seattle Police Department will be hosting DEA Drug Take Back Day on April 27th 10:00AM to 2:00PM paired with a Shredathon to aid our communities in properly disposing of unwanted or expired medications and unwanted documents ALL IN ONE PLACE! We are thrilled to have partnered with Iron Mountain Shredding, who have generously donated their shredding services to benefit the communities of Seattle. This will be a free event, but we will be accepting canned and dry goods to benefit food banks in each drop-off location’s precinct.
West Seattle location: Southwest Precinct: 2300 SW Webster St, Seattle WA
