-
Sidewalk construction and repairs
-
Enhanced pedestrian and bicyclist connectivity to light rail stations

Transit access and reliability

Bridge maintenance and long-term replacement planning

Maintenance and modernization of Seattle’s streets
The Seattle City Council will next review the proposal and consider referral to voters for the November 2024 ballot.
