South Park Healthy Street
Updated December 1, 2023
What's Happening Now?
The South Park Healthy Street will be permanently installed in 2024. This means replacing the temporary signs with permanent signs supported by either concrete sign bases or planters. Thank you to all who participated in our evaluation process for this Healthy Street!

Upgraded Temporary Sign Bases
This winter, we'll be upgrading the temporary sign bases at key intersections along the South Park Healthy Street to more durable concrete cylinders. The existing temporary signage has not been durable enough to withstand winter traffic conditions and as a result, our crews were overwhelmed last year with numerous daily requests to repair and replace signage around the city. These temporary sign bases will be upgraded to the permanent signage next year.

Starting in spring 2024 we will be accepting planter requests for the South Park Healthy Street! Once our sign-up form opens, it will be posted on this webpage. Sign up for our email updates to be notified when it becomes available and check this webpage in the spring to fill out the form. For permanent Healthy Street locations, neighbors can elect to replace the standard concrete sign base with planters. SDOT can install planters at Healthy Street intersections based on the requests we receive from neighbors. Neighbors who request planters are responsible for maintaining the planter after installation. For more information about adopting planters and planter maintenance, visit Healthy Street Planters.
Project Map
In addition to the Healthy Street, there are future improvements also coming to this area, including future South Park Neighborhood Greenway Connections (shown in dashed green) and the Future South Park-Georgetown Connection Trail (shown in orange).
