Citizens' Proposal

Turning "the Jungle" into "the Forest"

The Beacon Hill community is proposing

to create a pedestrian plaza and new town

center in the block of Lander between 16th

& 17th Avenues. The coming light rail stop

will be located adjacent to the proposed

Plaza, and new shops and restaurants will

be encouraged to locate here. A pedestrian

plaza could allow continued access to service

and paratransit vehicles while making a

The Plaza would be the commercial and transportation hub of Beacon Hill, built around a large, pedestrian-friendly public space.

For more information on the Plaza:contact Jodie Vice at jodievice@yahoo.com

The Beacon Alliance of Neighbors is taking the lead in enhancing Dr. Jose Rizal Park. roposed trail development and environmental restoration projects will transform the greenbelt along I-5 into an attractive, safe, and loved North Beacon Hill space - "the Forest". One trail will run through the Forest and connect Lewis and Rizal Parks, helping complete the Mountains to Sound Greenway Trail along I-90 to the Cascades (see www.seattle.gov/transportation/mountains_to_sound.htm). Native tree and habitat restoration will create an urban woodland supportive of wildlife and inviting to human visitors. Contact Friends of the Forest: cat0nine@yahoo.com

Pro Parks Levy passes. Includes support for the Mountains to Sound Greenway Trail connection to SR-519. This bike/ped trail from the Cascades currently ends ends at I-90 and the Jose Rizal bridge, but will eventually run all the way to the Sound. Levy also includes $8 million for Jefferson Park projects. Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the 6th largest park in Seattle boasts many walking paths with magnificent views of the mountains and city. The Park houses a community center and an array of sports facilities, from basketball to lawn bowling. The Jefferson Park Alliance maintains native gardens, and volunteers clean up litter weekly on Cheasty Blvd. and Beacon Ave. www.seattle.gov/parks/parkspaces/jefferso.htm

The history of North Beacon Hill is intertwined with the history of transportation. From the streetcars in the early 1900s, to "the Jungle" created during the construction of I-5, to the light rail stop arriving in 2009, the neighborhood is continually on the forefront of, and shaped by, Seattle transportation innovation.

What is Active Living?Active living integrates physical activity into daily routines, such as walking to school, work, or to shop. Walking just 30 minutes a day - 10 minutes at a time - 5 days a week - is enough to improve your health. Discover your neighborhood, and walk to active living!

Neighborhoods on Foot: The Neighborhoods on Foot map series is a guide to promote walkable communities and enable safe, active transportation. If you don't live in North Beacon

Hill, contact Feet First to find out if your neighborhood has an edition of our map series.

Mayor Nickels joins Mercer Middle School students at a May 30, 2006 SDOT sidewalk groundbreaking. Adding sidewalks helps kids to be more active and promotes safety at the same time.

Design for Active Living Feet First works in Beacon Hill to advocate specific projects that promote active living. Designs that make it easier to get around via foot, bicycle, or bus promote stronger communities, a cleaner environment, and better health for residents.

For volunteer opportunities, or information on becoming a community leader, call Feet First at 206.652.2310.

Health Impact Assessment Health Impact Assessment (HIA) is a tool for evaluating the health effects of a policy, project, or program. HIA can help communities analyze how development projects might affect walking, bicycling, and transit use, as well as air and water quality, social cohesion, and safety. Feet First and Public Health-Seattle & King County are piloting an HIA in North Beacon Hill, to help develop a Plaza proposal that will support good health outcomes. (See A Plaza for Beacon Hill?). A Plaza would encourage more walking to and within the new pedestrian environment, allow for informal physical

activity events such as tai chi, and build stronger, healthier community ties. Bussing and Active Living Bussing is a great way to save on gas, walk more, and contribute less to climate change. Many of the routes in Beacon - the 4, 7, 17, and 36 - are clean, quiet electric trolley buses, which emit zero pollution. For locations, see the map side. You can also plan your bus trip with Metro's Regional Trip Planner. Enter your location and destination, and let Metro do the rest! Go to www.tripplanner.metrokc.gov or call 553-3000. For fares, schedules, and routes, see: www.transit.metrokc.gov

Let the City of Seattle know about problems in your neighborhood.
