Safe Crossing Celebration at 83rd & Greenwood - October 2022
After years of advocacy, emails, public records requests, and even a little middle-of-the-night activism, we were so excited to celebrate the opening of the signalized crosswalk at N 83rd Street and Greenwood Ave N. This new safe crossing will allow more time for people to cross the busy arterial, automatic detection of people biking with a "Bike Detected" indicator light, and a more complete all ages and abilities route from Crown Hill all the way to Green Lake.
"BARK(ing) Day" - September 2022
Our take on PARK(ing) Day this year involved a dog obstacle course ("dogstacle course") and drawing attention to the need for a safe crossing at N 81st Street and Greenwood Ave N, right next to a park, library, and a block from an elementary school.
