Georgetown to South Park Connection Update

*Construction on the Georgetown to South Park Safety project began on Monday, November 18!*

Over the next few weeks, you’ll see the following activities in the project area:


* Restoring roadway pavement and sidewalk on 13th Ave S, Ellis Ave S, and E Marginal Way S
* Shutting off the fire hydrant supply on Ellis Ave S between S Elizabeth St and E Marginal Way S for hydrant and drainage work
* Installing signal and storm drain improvements at the intersection of E Marginal Way S and 16th Ave S

*Please note that much of this work is weather dependent and subject to schedule changes.

We've heard from the community over the last two weeks about their concern that the changes we are making on Ellis Ave S might not leave enough space to retain parking on the west side of the street. Our project worked closely with our contractor and confirmed that our design will retain a parking lane on the west side of Ellis Ave S. The new parking lane will be slightly narrower at 7 feet wide, which meets our standard minimum width for on-street parking. Like most roadway changes, this may require some time for people driving to adjust and get used to. We thank you for your patience and understanding.

*Traffic control to expect over the next couple of weeks in the project area*

Levy to Move Seattle Logo

The Flume site (located on S Myrtle St), formerly owned by Seattle City Light (SCL), will now serve as an off-leash area (dog park) and a shared-use path for those walking, biking, and rolling between Georgetown and South Park. 

The dog park project is expected to begin the process of contractor selection in the coming weeks, with construction expected to begin later this year at the Georgetown ‘Flume’ property! Our safety project will create an off-street, multi-use connection through the new park. To learn more about the park design, visit Seattle Parks and Recreation's webpage [ https://www.seattle.gov/parks?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ].
