The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) will host community open houses in September as part of the Bridging the Gap Neighborhood Street Fund (NSF) Large Project Fund.
SDOT received over 500 applications for NSF projects, more than four times the number received in previous years. Approximately 170 of the applications were for large projects ($500,000 or more to construct) throughout the city. According to city officials, the increase in applications reflects the program's leaders' efforts to expand community outreach efforts in allocating $4.5 million for neighborhood transportation projects.The funding is being made available through the Bridging the Gap transportation levy.
Seattleites are encouraged to attend the open houses to help determine what projects ultimately receive funding. Community members can review transportation projects proposed by their neighbors and others around the city. Residents can comment on which projects they prefer and help SDOT develop a priority list.
SDOT staff will be available to discuss projects with citizens and answer questions at the meetings.
