This is just one step in making downtown Seattle friendlier to pedestrians (again) instead of the rather car friendly land road oriented space it is. Seattle has a LOT of work to do in this space, but this is merely one of many steps that it is taking to remedy the problem.<br /><br />:) Was it really only $900k? That seems low for a Government project that is basically flat concrete everywhere! The only thing I'd have added is some greenery on the park. Seattle is already a big paved concrete block, the city desperately needs more greenery... but I digress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181700857407507016.post-63620550705459981412011-02-21T08:54:35.381-08:002011-02-21T08:54:35.381-08:00Last thing we need are MORE bus stops in downtown....Last thing we need are MORE bus stops in downtown. What we need is better access to an improved set of existing and/or consdolidated stops, which this project helps do. Note the improved bus stop (+/- 10' wider sidewalk with new awnings) across the street on Olive. It's all part of the larger plan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181700857407507016.post-39527240879570511092011-02-17T12:38:52.091-08:002011-02-17T12:38:52.091-08:00Viewed on its own it may not make sense, but that&...Viewed on its own it may not make sense, but that's just one part of the overall Westlake Hub Strategy which will include many more transit access improvements.<br /><br />http://www.seattle.gov/transportation/docs/WestlakeHubStrategyDraftRecommendations.pdfOranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10634801317387719616noreply@blogger.com
