Seattle is building a network of neighborhood greenways. They are safer, calmer residential streets for you, your family, neighbors and customers. On streets with low car volumes and speeds a greenway can:

· Improve safety

· Help people cross busy streets

· Discourage cut-through traffic

· Protect the residential character of our neighborhoods

· Keep speeds low

· Get people to where they want to go like parks, schools, shops and restaurants


Neighborhood Greenways are not car free zones, do not add bike lanes and there are minimal if any on-street parking impacts. Unfortunately, the program does not include funding to build new sidewalks at this time, but sidewalk and pavement repairs are usually part of the Neighborhood Greenway treatment. Come see our first Neighborhood Greenway on 37th Ave E, just north of E Madison St.
