Olympic View Elementary School, 504 NE 95th Street CleanScapes Neighborhood Waste Reduction Reward! We’ve talked about how Pinehurst was one of the neighborhoods awarded $50,000 recently for reducing how much waste we produce. And we reached out for suggestions on how to spend that money and talked about it at one of the recent meetings. Now we’re looking for a volunteer to help select the winning project. Each of the neighborhoods will be sending representatives to the selection committee. They will be meeting 2-3 times over the next month or two to narrow down the proposals and select the winning project(s). Please let me know (phillip@pinehurstseattle.org) if you’re interested in representing Pinehurst. Seriously, awarding grants can be a lot of fun which is why we wanted to open this up to the larger community. You get to give away somebody else’s money! It’s also often a lot of work but this should be a much smaller time commitment since the award is relatively small and I don’t think there were a crazy number of applicants. There isn’t a formal application process for the volunteer so I will generally selecting the first applicant who is from our community and who appears committed. Thanks!

The Captain is initiating a project to directly address these concerns. NPAC members will work with SPD to identify and prioritize specific problems in the neighborhoods. Then SPD will focus on the problem, and get other city services involved, if needed.

Or if a dark street is identified as a concern, SPD will help the neighborhood ask the city for a street light. The project is divided into four issues of concern and one North Precinct lieutenant will be assigned to each issue. One NPAC member will be paired with the lieutenant, and together that pair will work with the rest of the council neighborhood representatives to choose the target problems. The four issues are:

The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) is launching a collaborative process to review traffic safety along the walking and biking routes to Pinehurst School. As safety is our number one priority, and children walking and biking to school are especially vulnerable, we are committed to improving school traffic safety by reducing speeding and collisions and providing safer places for families to walk and bike to school. SDOT will bring the community together to consider changes to the streets around Pinehurst School in an effort to bring down speeds and make our streets safer for everyone.
