Thank you for your interest in the Levy to Move Seattle. 

Recently, we finished repairing sidewalks along the eastern side of Aurora Ave N, from NE 85th to N 105th St. The result: safer, smoother travel for people walking and rolling.

Our sidewalk repair program is possible thanks to your tax dollars through the Levy to Move Seattle. We recently addressed damaged sidewalks along the east side of Aurora Ave N (State Route 99), between NE 85th St and N 105th St.

We completely rebuilt damaged sidewalks on some blocks and smoothed, repaired, or replaced smaller damaged sections of the sidewalk in other areas. We also widened some sections of the sidewalk. People can now walk or roll more comfortably along this stretch of Aurora.

We adjusted our plans and designs based on community priorities. This included finding innovative ways to save the existing mature trees along Aurora while completing sidewalk repairs.

Check out this short video about the project and the perspectives of local businesses owners, community representatives, and our director Greg Spotts.
