Reconnect West Seattle

Deadline this Friday, July 31:
Please take the Reconnect West Seattle survey.

Your voice is needed to help get more people on bikes across the bridges safety and efficiently.  Mobility for West Seattle, South Park and Georgetown depends on it.

It’s going to take a lot more than 10 projects at <$100K each, but this is a start, and it’s what we have available to us at the moment, so let’s go for it. Most of the projects came from our input with Duwamish Valley Safe Streets, Cascade Bicycle Club and Seattle Neighborhood Greenways.

 


There are also separate neighborhood surveys for the most heavily impacted neighborhoods in the south end of West Seattle, South Park & Georgetown.

 

Hah Ah Poos – Stand with the Duwamish to Rename T-107 Park

We ride on the Duwamish Trail. We live in the city named for Chief Seattle.

We acknowledge that we are on the unceded traditional land of the first people of Seattle, the Duwamish People past and present. We honor with gratitude the land itself and the Duwamish Tribe.

We have been  working to support the Duwamish Tribe’s need for a safe crossing of West Marginal Way from the Duwamish Longhouse & Cultural Center to the trail, park and river.

Here is another opportunity to support the Duwamish Tribe. Their video makes a compelling presentation, If you agree, you can take the Port’s survey , and fill in the Tribe’s name choice for T-107 Park:  Ha Ah Poos Duwamish Village Park
