Thank you for your interest in the Levy to Move Seattle.
 SDOT leadership, community members, and project supporters celebrate the start of construction on November 22, 2024.
- Construction is now underway on the Georgetown to South Park Connection project creating better access for people biking, scooting, walking, and rolling between South Park and Georgetown.
- Today we held a groundbreaking event in Georgetown alongside project partners and community stakeholders to mark the milestone.
- By adding approximately 1.2 miles of new bike and pedestrian shared path, this project will make biking a safe and preferred transportation option for many people as they head from South Park into Georgetown, SODO, Downtown, and beyond.
- We encourage you to visit our website and sign up for email updates to stay informed during construction.
- This project is the final project in a series of bike and safety projects to begin construction in South Seattle funded by the Levy to Move Seattle.
- Nearby, we’re also working closely with Seattle Parks and Recreation to develop a new off-leash area at a former industrial site, for people to enjoy with their dogs.
_______
- In November, we continued construction on several improvements throughout the project area, including:
- A concrete buffer for protected bike lanes on 15th Ave S from S Judkins to S State St
- New sidewalk and curb ramps on 15th Ave S from S Plum St to S College St
- Beginning underground electrical work at 15th Ave S and Beacon Ave S, and at 15th Ave S and S Bayview St
- These safety improvements represent important and effective near-term upgrades in the public right-of-way, helping to advance our Vision Zero safety goals for all travelers in Seattle.
- When this project is complete, it will be safer and easier to walk, bike, and roll to the many businesses, community destinations, and transit stations in the growing North Beacon Hill neighborhood.
_______
- We continued to work on the 15th Ave W/NW & Ballard Bridge Paving & Safety Project! We are working at several areas along 15th Ave NW at NW Market St, NW 52nd St, NW 51st St, NW 50th St, NW 49th St, and Leary Way NW.
- Through this construction we will upgrade ADA accessible ramps, rebuild sidewalk corners, install upgraded traffic signals and cameras, improve storm drainage, and repair the sidewalk and roadway in select areas.
- At NW 51st St, crews continued electrical and signal lighting work for the new pedestrian and bicycle crossing.
- Crews also continued electrical work at Leary Way NW and they will soon begin work to strengthen and improve earthquake safety on the Leary Way Bridge.
