A group of neighbors riding on the coattails of the Walkable Crown Hill Project recently received a City of Seattle Neighborhood Matching Fund grant to make some streetscape improvements for both walkability and improved appearance. The neighbors live on the dead end of Mary Ave NW, north of NW 100th Street. The grant was approved for approximately $4500.

Seattle’s draft Pedestrian Master Plan was released last month for public comment. The original deadline for public comment was June 15th, but that has been extended to June 26th. The plan is quite extensive and covers many aspects of pedestrian activity or lack thereof in Seattle. It was developed with input from a city-wide survey conducted in 2007, and the expert guidance of a dedicated cadre of volunteers from neighborhood activists to health professionals. The plan examines ways to get people walking more, as well as impediments to walking. Read all about it at http://www.seattle.gov/transportation/pedestrian_masterplan/ As an innovation, the plan is a web document, so nobody will drive up to your mailbox and deliver it. There is a summary which can be used as a guide to the various parts of the plan.
