About the Project
The Garfield Superblock is a two-block area in the Central District that features Garfield High School, a park, and other community spaces. The park, the surrounding sidewalks and curbs were in poor condition, which resulted in drainage issues.
To address these issues, the community worked with Seattle Parks and Seattle Public Schools to develop a master plan for the area. They also secured funding to improve the park. As part of the Neighborhood Street Fund program, we improved the sidewalks and curbs. Here's what we did:
- Repaired existing sidewalks and curbs on the south side of E Cherry St between 23rd St and 25th Ave, and both sides of 25th Ave between E Cherry St and E Jefferson St.
- Added new curb ramps at E Cherry St and 24th St and E Jefferson St and 25th Ave.

Project Background
This is one of nine Neighborhood Street Fund projects requested by community and selected by the Levy to Move Seattle Oversight Committee. Neighborhood Street Fund is a city program, running on 3-year cycles, that enables neighbors to propose and help prioritize transportation-related projects that are then built by the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT).
