Georgetown Healthy Street
Updated May 1, 2024
What's Happening Now?
We are excited to announce that the permanent Georgetown Healthy Street will be installed as soon as summer 2024! With installation approaching, we are now accepting planter requests! Please sign up on the planter request form by Sunday, May 12th.
For permanent Healthy Street locations, neighbors can elect to replace the standard concrete sign base with planters. SDOT will install planters at Healthy Street intersections based on the requests we receive from neighbors (see diagram and image below). Neighbors who request planters are responsible for maintaining the planter after installation. For more information about adopting planters and planter maintenance, visit the Healthy Street Planters webpage.

Design Elements
We have updated our design for the permanent Georgetown Healthy Street. Along with installing typical Healthy Street features on Flora Ave S, we will also be installing speed humps, pavement markings, and wayfinding signs along the entire Healthy Street for people walking, biking, and rolling. We will be evaluating the possibility of installing Healthy Street intersection features on Carleton Ave S, since Carleton is wider than a typical neighborhood street. See the planned improvements below.
