S Rose St Sidewalk Repair
Updated: June 2025
What's happening now?
We’re happy to announce that work to repair sidewalks on both sides of S Rose St, between 48th and 50th avenues, is now complete!
Here’s what we’ve done to improve your neighborhood:
- Repaired existing sidewalk on both sides of S Rose St between 48th Ave S and 50th Ave S
- Repurposed the on-street parking space on the north side of S Rose St to install a new planting strip on the north side of S Rose St between 48th Ave S and 50th Ave S
- Added new parking spaces near 50th Ave S
- Built new curb ramps at S Rose St and 49th Ave S
The photo above shows newly reconstructed sidewalks, curb ramps with tactile warning strips, and new planting strip along S Rose St between 48th Ave S and 50th Ave S (June 2025, SDOT).
We want to thank everyone who took part in the community prioritization process for the S Rose St Sidewalk Repair Project. Your input has been invaluable in making this project a reality!
Project Overview
S Rose St between 48th Ave S and 50th Ave S is a residential street in Rainier Valley. The street has sidewalks on both sides, but the sidewalks are in disrepair. Vehicles frequently park in the planting strip and block the sidewalk. This project included the following improvements:
- Repair existing sidewalk on both sides of S Rose St between 48th Ave S and 50th Ave S
- New planting strip on the north side of S Rose St between 48th Ave S and 50th Ave S
- New curb ramps at S Rose St and 49th Ave S
- Parking will be restricted on the north side of S Rose St to provide space for the planting strip and keep the sidewalk clear for people walking and rolling
- Parking will be maintained on the south side of S Rose St and new parking spaces will be added near 50th Ave S
This project now connects to new sidewalks west of 48th Ave S and east of 50th Ave S, providing safer, more accessible sidewalks for people of all ages and abilities. It also prevents vehicles from blocking the sidewalks, improving both the overall look and usability of the street for everyone in the community.
