Safe Routes to School: Wing Luke Elementary

Updated May 30, 2024

The Wing Luke Elementary Neighborhood Greenway extension and Kenyon Way S Sidewalk project are complete! 

This project fills in an important sidewalk gap leading to Wing Luke Elementary. It includes holistic features that neighbors asked for like lighting and traffic calming. We also got to work with Wing Luke Elementary’s art teacher, Dawn Maxie, on an art contest where we installed 5 student art pieces on the sidewalk.
