Learn more about Safe Walks.

Safe Walks is a growing coalition of neighborhoods from across the City of Seattle. We are advocating for additional funding for critical sidewalks and crosswalks throughout the city.

We are especially focused on neighborhoods that lack sufficient infrastructure in the north and south ends of our city. And, we are asking for priority to be given to projects that rate high in the Seattle Department of Transportation priority rating system that takes into account factors such as a project proximity to schools, parks, arterials and urban villages.

City Councilmembers and pedestrian safety organizations with whom we have spoken have been very receptive to having a dialogue on these issue. And, they seem happy to see neighborhoods working together.

We are working with Councilmember Nick Licata to plan a forum on pedestrian safety and critical sidewalks and crosswalks in mid-July. More information will be available on the forum soon.

We have set up a Google Group for Safe Walks and invite all who are interested to consider joining us. Learn more at: http://groups.google.com/group/safe-walks

Thank you so much!
