Installing sidewalk corners calms drivers and enhances predictability, accessibility and safety.
Project Solution(s):
Install sidewalk corners with curb ramps at 39th Ave S and S Findlay St
Ensure that all corners meet ADA standards

STREETS | Rainier Ave S and S Rose St
“Rose St Triangle” Upgrades
Project Description and Goals:
The Rose St Triangle is a City managed property in the Rainer Valley, near the Dunlap neighborhood. The location serves as a connection for commuters traveling to downtown Seattle and Capitol Hill on Metro routes 7 and 9. The Rose St Triangle suffers from substandard lighting and visibility, due to the overgrown landscape and the current pedestrian light location. Relocating or installing a new pedestrian light fixture and trimming the overgrown landscape increases nighttime visibility and creates a safer space for all travelers.
Project Solution(s):
Relocate or install new pedestrian light
Trim and maintain the overgrown landscape
