Neighborhood Sidewalk Program
In 2007 the Neighborhood Sidewalk Program was established to help address the sidewalk needs and priorities of the city's many neighborhoods. Candidate sidewalk projects have been frequently requested and/or long supported by the residents in the community; however, in most cases these projects are too small to compete with larger projects for funding and too large to be completed by other capital programs such as the Neighborhood Enhancement Program and/or the Pedestrian and Bicycle Access Improvements Program.
The Transportation Commission selected these two sidewalk projects below which received the highest scores in the prioritization process. Planning and design will begin in 2013.
- WB-1: Southeast 16th Street - 104th Avenue Southeast to Bellevue Way: Construct curb, gutter and six-foot sidewalk on one side, the side to be determined in the initial design process which will include community outreach/involvement facilitation.
- WD-1: 123rd Avenue Southeast - between Southeast 20th to 26th streets: Construct curb, gutter and five-foot sidewalk, place curb 14 feet from center of the roadway on the east side of the street. Parking bays where feasible. Wrap sidewalk around corner on Northeast 20th to connect to school.
