Large Neighborhood Street Fund (NSF) Projects: North 143rd Street Safety Improvement Project

September 20, 2012

Project Overview

Residents of this community have been working to build sidewalks along this corridor and successfully obtained funding through the Neighborhood Street Fund in 2010.  This project will install sidewalks along the north side of the street from Seattle Housing Authority’s Tri Court Apartments to Phinney Ave N.

Project Location

N 143rd Street between Phinney Ave N and just west of Linden Ave N

Project Details

• Six-foot wide pervious concrete sidewalk on the north side of the street.
• Trees and planting strip will be provided between the sidewalk and the curb in the section between Phinney Ave N and Evanston Ave N.
• The new street width on N 143rd Street will be the standard 25’ with parking on both sides of the street.  The narrowed street width will have a traffic calming benefit for the neighborhood and further enhance pedestrian safety.
• No changes will be made on the south side of the street, on-street parking will remain in the gravel shoulder.

Project Schedule:

Project is at 100% design and will be advertised for bids in early 2013
