SDOT’s Sidewalk Development Program is making a significant pedestrian improvement on 1st Ave nue NE this year.  This project was selected using Seattle’s recently-adopted Pedestrian Master Plan and will fill in two gaps that are currently missing along the existing sidewalk.  Once completed, pedestrians will have a seamless facility to walk on that connects from NE 92 nd Street all the way to Northgate Mall.

The sidewalk project will be built along the east side of 1st Ave NE between the I-5 overpass (NE 92 nd Street) and Marie Callender’s Restaurant & Bakery at 9538 1st Ave NE.  SDOT’s preliminary design includes a 6’ wide concrete sidewalk with a planting strip and 6”curb.   

Construction is expected to begin in August.    A program representative will be in contact with adjacent residents and property managers with more details about the project prior to beginning this work.

PRELIMINARY DESIGN
