Submitted by webteam_admin on Fri, 07/10/2020 - 10:58

Dear Campus Community 

The city has just now launched the public-input phase of Reconnect West Seattle to help SDOT prioritize the right traffic and mobility improvements to help people and goods move to, from and through West Seattle and the affected nearby neighborhoods in the Duwamish Valley.   

Your voice is needed, and your participation will help SDOT prioritize the right improvements in a highly resource constrained environment due to COVID-19 impacts.  

For you who live or work in West Seattle, please take the Reconnect West Seattle Survey by July 31st!  

This survey is your chance to let SDOT and partners know what you need to move on and off the West Seattle peninsula at similar rates to before the High-Rise Bridge closure, but with a significant reduction in travel lanes.

Additionally, if you live or work in one of the following neighborhoods, please fill out your Neighborhood Prioritization Process Ballot by July 31.   

South West Seattle: Roxhill, Highland Park, Riverview, & South Delridge  

SODO   Georgetown   South Park  

The Neighborhood Prioritization Process Ballots enables each neighborhood to prioritize which projects you feel, as a community, will best address the impacts of the High-Bridge closure.   

The ballots include lists of potential projects that were generated from ideas SDOT received from the community, along with some of their own ideas, and projects from existing transportation and neighborhood plans.  While a much larger mix of projects remain on their radar, they recognize the need for immediate action. Therefore, the lists include projects that can be completed quickly and cost less than $100,000.
