DOWNTOWN RESIDENTS ALLIANCE PRIORITIES

Safe Streets
Clean Streets
Traffic that Moves
Alleys that work for loading, waste removal, and parking
Adequate Daylighting/Health through Tower Separation/Shaping

If the preceding five things are done, our beloved downtown will be:

Livable for Residents
Attractive for Visitors
Good for Business

If Andrew Lewis proves to be as good a coalition builder on the Seattle City Council as he was on the campaign trail, we are optimistic about 2020 and the years to come!

Stop the insanity now!

A recently released UW/SDOT study (click here for full report) confirms the inadequacies of Seattle's 100 year old downtown alleys. Why does the City continue to allow irreversible disastrous decisions with generational adverse impacts in Downtown Seattle? There can only be one answer.…The city sees a way out of their budget problems, and the developers are more than willing to accommodate them.

Send Your Comments on Vision 2050 ASAP!

The Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) is calling for public input on the draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) statement for Vision 2050. Deadline is next Monday, April 29. We've embraced density by choosing to live downtown. We've had the opportunity to see where current transportation, infrastructure and development policies are failing to deliver a healthy and livable quality of life. These issues need to be addressed in the new EIS.
