Project Overview

We teamed up with Dunlap Elementary School, South Shore K-8, and the Rainier Beach Branch of the Seattle Public Library to hold a super cool design contest for students! 
The contest is all about creating fun and creative designs for bike symbols that SDOT crews installed along the Healthy Street leading to both schools. The path runs for 1.2 miles from Othello Park to the library, and now includes 12 student art pieces.  
 
Shout out to our talented art teachers! Weston Horner, the art teacher at South Shore, worked with his 4th-8th graders and his art club. Adrian Watts-Driscoll, the art teacher at Dunlap, worked with her 4th-5th graders. 

This awesome new project was inspired by a similar contest called Bike to Books Design Contest held by the Portland Bureau of Transportation and Multnomah County Library since 2017.

What is the purpose of these bike symbols? 

Have you ever seen those symbols painted on the road that look like a bike with arrows around it? Those are called sharrows! They are there to show that cars and bikes share the same lane on the road. Sharrows help make sure that bikes and cars can safely share the road together. They also remind drivers that bikes have a right to be on the road too. Sharrows are not just for bikes though, they can also be used to create a network of safe places for people who walk or ride bikes.

It’s also been shown that art in the street can help to slow down people driving. So next time you see sharrows on the road, remember they're there to keep everyone safe!
