What's a Neighborhood Greenway?
Neighborhood greenways are safer, calmer residential streets for you, your family, and your neighbors. We make people walking and biking the priority. Neighborhood greenways can include:
- Easier crossings of busy streets with crosswalks, flashing beacons, or traffic signals
- Speed humps to calm traffic
- 20 mph speed limit signs
- Stop signs for side streets crossing the neighborhood greenway
- Signs and pavement markings to help people find their way
Funding
These projects were funded by the 9-year Levy to Move Seattle, approved by voters in 2015. Funding also came from additional sources:
- The Neighborhood Street Fund program pays for transportation projects identified and prioritized by the community. Projects range from crossing improvements to creating unique public spaces. They're typically between $100,000 and $1 million.
- The Safe Routes to School connections were paid for by a Washington State Department of Transportation Safe Routes to School grant.
