Amanda Have you had a chance to review the proposed changes to our area’s Metro service? King County Metro announced the 2012 services changes back in early December. With the busy December and January, I was unable to post the changes to service in North Delridge. Until now….

Bridging the Gap – Applications due Feb. 1
In 2006, Seattle voters passed a nine-year, $365 million levy for transportation maintenance and improvements known as Bridging the Gap.

Funding also supports projects that implement the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master plans, create a Safe Routes to School Program, improve transit connections and help neighborhoods get larger projects built through the Neighborhood Street Fund large project program.

January 10th, 2012 Jake Tonight I represented the Delridge neighborhood at the monthly city-wide meeting for Greenway advocates. The neighborhood greenway concept has been getting a lot of press lately in Seattle, thanks to a number of grass-roots movements in neighborhoods across the city, as well as enthusiastic support at City Hall from council-member Sally Bagshaw.
