<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt">Hi Anna and Cecelia,<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt">I am the outreach lead for the new sidewalks and walkways that are a part of the Seattle Transportation Levy which the voters passed last November. We have titled this project “Building Sidewalk and Walkway
Connections.” Thank you for all your good work to help us prioritize this in the levy!<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt"> <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt">I’m excited to share that we have our first targeted neighborhood event this coming Saturday, January 25th in the Pinehurst neighborhood. This neighborhood was chosen due to the relatively large number of
missing walkways near places where people walk frequently, such as public schools, parks, and frequent transit. We will be gathering at Hazel Wolfe K-8 School at 9:00 the morning with nearby residents to walk several routes in the area to hear their thoughts
on where sidewalks and walkways are most needed. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt"> <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt">This will be the first of many neighborhood events this year to collect local input that will feed into our final selection of 250 block faces across the city to receive these pedestrian improvements. These
blocks will then move forward into design and construction within the next 4 years. You can keep track of our progress on our website:
