 -Community members attend a ‘walkshop’ in Pinehurst, Seattle, to discuss where to add new sidewalks and walkways.
Thank you Seattle voters!
On November 5, 2024 Seattle voters approved the Seattle Transportation Levy.
The eight-year $1.55 billion Transportation Levy provides funding to maintain and modernize the city’s transportation infrastructure including building sidewalks, paving streets, repairing bridges, and improving transit connections.
In addition to regular reporting, these newsletters provide updates on how this funding is being used.
-
Pinehurst is getting 28 blocks of new sidewalks and walkways, in areas you helped choose during last year’s neighborhood community walks, or “walkshops”.
-
These are the first sidewalks and walkways to come from our walkshop program and are part of a Seattle Transportation Levy-funded initiative to add 350 blocks of new sidewalks and walkways across the city throughout the life of the levy.
-
This is just the beginning. Thanks to your feedback, we now have an early list and interactive map of more than 200 locations across Seattle we are considering. We’re working to build as quickly as possible, with 250 blocks to be built within the next four years. Learn more.

- We’ll co-create and test climate solutions with community members, leading to a practical set of tools to guide future investments.
