The deadline is February 8th for the Neighborhood Park and Street Fund. This is a $90,000 grant that builds small projects in the neighborhood. This won’t build sidewalks. Especially not anymore. We’ve tried. Repeatedly. But it does do other smaller safety projects. You can see some examples of 2015 projects as well as some other more general examples below.
Do you have something you want to see changed/fixed/built? If so, it’s a really easy process. It’s a very short online form. And the Pinehurst Community Council is very willing and eager to help. Email me at phillip@pinehurstseattle.org, even if it’s just an idea.
Park projects:
- Accessibility improvements
- Trail/path maintenance and upgrades
- Park benches or tables
- Natural area renovations
- Minor playground improvements
Street projects:
- Crossing improvements such as rapid flashing beacons, curb bulbs, and pedestrian countdown signals
- Traffic calming, such as traffic circles, median islands, and speed feedback signs
- Short segments of sidewalk construction (less than 100 feet, or one third of a block).
