The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) Vision Zero team has developed a first version of an improvement plan for Lakeside Avenue. This project aims to enhance safety and accessibility along this important corridor. Funded by the Transportation Levy and the District 3 Project Fund, the plan focuses on reducing traffic violations and pedestrian risks and improving the experience for all. The Leschi Community Council is gathering community feedback to shape the final design. Residents and stakeholders are encouraged to share their thoughts by Tuesday, August 25th.
The SDOT Vision Zero team will participate in a Leschi Community Council meeting on September 2nd at 7pm at Grace United Methodist Church to discuss the plan in detail.
