Safe Routes to School: 18th Ave SW

Construction of the 18th Ave SW Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Project is complete!

Project Overview

Safe Routes to School is a national movement to make it easier and safer for students to walk and bike to school. We've made several improvements across Seattle to calm traffic, increase visibility, and reduce the crossing distance at intersections.

Our Safe Routes to School program made improvements on the east side of 18th Ave SW to connect SW Myrtle St to the Sanislo Elementary playground entrance. This project included a new sidewalk and planting strip, curb ramps, speed humps, a crosswalk, and updated signage. Through this project, we have worked to improve walkability and help kids get to Sanislo Elementary safely.

These improvements were substantially completed in December 2020, with the exception of the permanent crosswalk markings, which were installed in the spring when the weather allowed.

Funding

This project is funded by the 9-year Levy to Move Seattle, which was approved by voters in 2015, as well as our local Safe Routes to School program.
