Project Outcomes

In December 2011, the City passed new standards to guide development of streets and properties in the West Seattle Triangle area. We worked with the community to develop them. The new standards:

• Promote pedestrian- and transit-friendly designs
• Allow additional height and density for development that includes public spaces, green streets, and affordable housing
• Provide guidance for streetscapes that are designed for pedestrians, vehicles, and green elements
• Allow a full range of new and existing businesses to thrive
