Project Overview

We teamed up with Dunlap Elementary School, South Shore K-8, and the Rainier Beach Branch of the Seattle Public Library to hold a design contest for students! 

SDOT crews installed the 12 winners along the Healthy Street leading to both schools. The path runs for 1.2 miles from Othello Park to the library.
 
Shout out to our talented art teachers! Weston Horner, the art teacher at South Shore, worked with his 4th-8th graders and his art club. Adrian Watts-Driscoll, the art teacher at Dunlap, worked with her 4th-5th graders. 

This awesome project was inspired by a similar contest called Bike to Books Design Contest held by the Portland Bureau of Transportation and Multnomah County Library since 2017. 

Find walking, biking, and transit themed books at your school library! 

We provided these walking, biking, and transit themed books to all our Seattle Public School elementary school libraries. Click the links to find the books at Seattle Public Libraries too!
