Streets for All Seattle

So one of the reasons I was looking for feedback on sidewalks and infrastructure was because of Streets for All Seattle.   Their Facebook group and website just went live today and I’ve included more information from them below.

Hubbard Homestead Park Drama

I’m hearing reports of major issues with the current design of Hubbard Homestead Park.  As you may know, they’re converting the 3.73 acre park and ride just north of Northgate into a park.  They are well into the process and there have been numerous public meetings already.  It seems like the  consensus was that the [...]

Thank You Everybody!

I really want to thank everybody who emailed me or commented on the latest sidewalk post. I haven’t responded to as many as I’d like yet but I have read everything. Obviously it’s an important issue to a lot of people but it’s amazing to see that much energy despite how slow the process has [...]

Feedback Wanted: Pinehurst Infrastructure

There has been a lot of advocacy for sidewalks and infrastructure coming out of Pinehurst and the North District over the years. Many of our local community members have been instrumental in pushing this as a priority and making people aware of the lack of equity in our current investments. While people have worked hard, [...]

North Precinct Advisory Council – home burglaries

At last night’s NPAC meeting Diane Horswill, North Precinct Crime Prevention Coordinator, mentioned that she did an analysis of residential burglaries in NE Seattle and found that about half were NOT forced entry.  This means the burglar entered an unlocked door or window.  It also means that possibly half the burglaries didn’t need to happen! 

There is a [...]

North District Council and NE 115th Sidewalk

There’s another possible funding source for NE 115th St!

I previously wrote about how Pinehurst had come in 4th for the Bridging the Gap Large Project Fund recommendations from the North District Council. It had come down to a single vote in a tie breaker but they were only considering the top 3 so it [...]

NEST Map Clearly Shows Streets to Burke Gilman Trail

The “Northeast Seattle Trails” (NEST) walking map clearly shows several cycling connections to the Burke Gilman Trail, even better than the new 2010 City of Seattle Bicycle Map, released April 23. [...]

Safeway Shopping Help

Renee sent this to the email list but I wanted to make sure it was available for everybody to see. I would also add that it’s a great opportunity for neighbors to help each other when there is a need.
