SEATTLE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Introduction

This progress report gives you a peek at how we are doing so far. Highlights include launching the Be Super Safe campaign to help reach Seattle’s long-term goal of zero traffic fatalities and serious injuries; completing major paving projects on 85th Street and Ravenna Boulevard; optimizing 153 traffic signals to reduce delay; and beginning construction on the First Hill Streetcar.

And that’s not all. We are doing more than originally outlined in the 2012 Action Agenda. The City is working to speed up studies for a Ship Canal Bridge crossing to support Ballard to Downtown high capacity transit (HCT) as well a Downtown to University District (via Eastlake) route. We are pleased to announce that phase two of the Mercer Corridor Project officially starts construction this March, helping to reconnect Uptown to South Lake Union, make it easier to walk and bike under the Aurora overpass, and improve freight movement. Speaking of freight, we’ll be developing our first-ever Freight Master Plan to make sure our transportation system can keep goods and services moving. There’s more.

Dear Friends,

 

It is encouraging to finally see clear signs of federal action to support a comprehensive US infrastructure investment plan.

 

Now more than ever, our advocacy is needed to keep stakeholders informed and connected, and to hold politicians to their promises to finally fix our nation’s ailing infrastructure.

 

We have already engaged nearly 280,000 users, and hoping to add many more as interest continues to grow.

 

We require your support in order to rise to this occasion, to make the most of this opportunity. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to InfrastructureUSA.org.
