Wallingford Healthy Street

We are excited to announce that in the next 3-6 weeks you may see crews out marking the street for curb bulbs and other improvements coming to the Wallingford Healthy Street this year.

We will install permanent signage with a concrete block base and newly painted curb space around it at each intersection along the Healthy Street. At intersections where neighbors requested planters, we will install the permanent signage with a planter sign base. (Those neighbors should have already received email confirmations from us with additional requests for more information.) Unauthorized on-street parking located within 20 feet of the intersection will be removed for the permanent sign installation.

Along with installing typical Healthy Street features, we will also be making safety improvements along the route as the Wallingford Neighborhood Greenway enters its second decade of service. These improvements include:

• Additional all-way stops at the intersections of Burke Ave N with both N 44th St and N 43rd St.
• Painted curb extensions at N 43rd St and Densmore Ave N, and Ashworth Ave N & N 43rd St.

For more information on the additional safety enhancements, please see the “Design Elements” section below.

What to expect during construction:

Typical construction hours are weekdays, 7 AM to 5 PM, and may include weekend work. Other expected construction effects may include:

• Noise and vibration  
• Dust and debris  
• Construction staging and parking impacts near the work sites  
• “No Parking” areas and other parking impacts  
• Crosswalk and sidewalk closures, with detours for people walking and biking  
• Roadway closures and detours for vehicle traffic
• Tree trimming (for sign visibility)

Please note that the construction schedule may change due to unforeseen circumstances (i.e., weather, soil conditions, etc.). We encourage you to sign up for email updates to get the most updated information on construction.
