Large Neighborhood Street Fund (NSF) Projects: 33rd Avenue NE between NE 125th St and NE 130th St

April 2013

Project Overview

The community is committed to building the new sidewalk and drainage improvements and successfully competed for funding through the Neighborhood Street Fund (NSF), a city-administered program that works with communities to prioritize and build neighborhood projects.

Project Location

33rd Ave NE between N 125th and N 130th Streets on the west side of the street where sidewalk does not exist

Project Description

• New porous, concrete sidewalk,
• Curbs,
• Pedestrian lighting and
• Street trees and ground cover in planting strip area.

These changes will improve the pedestrian environment by providing a landscaped buffer from traffic; improve drainage and lighting as well as traffic calming the street.  The new street width on 33rd Ave NE will be 34’ wide with parallel on-street 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.
