Project Update: Lafayette Elementary School & Madison Middle School Neighborhood Greenway

During our first-quarter assessment of the 2024 budget, it became evident that inflation is affecting our large-scale project budgets more than initially expected. In response, we are focusing funds to ensure we continue making our transportation system safer, more reliable, and better connected and meeting Levy to Move Seattle commitments. Therefore, we are pausing development on a handful of projects that have not yet reached 100% design. These projects will resume as budget or grant funding becomes available.

In the meantime, we hope you have noticed the volume of projects launching and nearing completion this year. Stay up-to-date by reading our SDOT blog to learn more about bridges we are strengthening for earthquakes, our action plan to reduce serious and fatal crashes, and more.

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 have been funded by the 9-year Levy to Move Seattle, approved by voters in 2015, and Safe Routes to School funding.
