We used feedback from our online survey, neighborhood walks, and one-on-one conversations to plan projects that will make your streets safer, calmer, and more welcoming for everyone. After reviewing feedback on the final neighborhood plan, we decided to remove the proposed traffic diverter at S Oregon St and 34th Ave S. This project may be revisited in a future project phase. We will be moving forward with other projects in the area, including the diverter and improved Neighborhood Greenway crossing at S Alaska St and 35th Ave S. We will be installing speed cushions on sections of Renton Ave S lacking sidewalks and a new All Way Stop at Renton Ave S and S Dakota St as short-term improvements to support kids walking and biking to John Muir Elementary. The longer-term capital project to construct a sidewalk on Renton Ave S (partially funded by a WSDOT Active Transportation Grant) will begin as soon as 2029.   

We began construction on some projects last year. Construction for remaining projects may begin as soon as Summer 2026.

Steering Committee Meetings

An image describing the steps of the Home Zone planning process. Step 1 is to identify key safety issues and prioritize those issues. Step 2 is to determine possible solutions that fit within the Home Zone budget. Step 3 is to draft a neighborhood-wide Home Zone plan, which will be reviewed by the Steering Committee and the larger neighborhood. Step 4 is to design the projects once the Home Zone plan is approved. Step 5 is to construct the projects the year after the Home Zone plan is approved by the community and to follow up with traffic studies and other evaluations to determine how effective the Home Zone projects were.
