Wanted: Seattle Residents with a Passion for Walking
Help make the City of Seattle the nation’s best city for pedestrians
The City of Seattle is recruiting individuals to help shape Seattle’s future as a place where more people choose walking as their way to get around the city. Residents are invited to apply now to serve on Seattle’s Pedestrian Advisory Board, a committee of volunteers that plays an influential role in making pedestrian travel more safe and comfortable. The board advises the Mayor and City Council, participates in planning and project development, evaluates policies and makes recommendations.
Board members serve a two year term, with an opportunity to serve a second term. They are frequent walkers of a variety of ages, levels of mobility, and walks of life, and from areas throughout the city. Members must be Seattle residents, and may not be city employees. The group meets the second Wednesday of each month from 6 to 8 p.m. at Seattle City Hall on Fifth Avenue between James and Cherry.
Interested persons are encouraged to submit a resume and a cover letter explaining their interest by November 14 to Brian Dougherty, Seattle Department of Transportation, 700 Fifth Avenue, Suite 3900, P.O. Box 34996, Seattle Washington, 98124-4996, or send to brian.dougherty@seattle.gov.
