Project purpose and funding

This project is identified as a high priority in the Seattle Pedestrian Master Plan, which is a long-term master plan to make Seattle the most walkable city in the nation.  This project was also identified by the Crown Hill Neighborhood Association as a key project in their Walkable Crown Hill Streetscape Improvements Toolkit. 

Funding for this project comes from the “Bridging the Gap” transportation levy approved by Seattle voters in November 2006.
