SDOT paving crews are constructing a sidewalk on the west side
of Third Avenue West between West Halladay and West Smith streets,
filling gaps in the existing sidewalk network. The paving crew chief
estimates they will complete the work by May 24. The provision of a
continuous sidewalk will increase safety and make it easier and more
pleasant to walk in the area.
This location is part of SDOT’s 2010 sidewalk improvement program and
was selected using Seattle’s Pedestrian Master Plan designed to make
Seattle the most walkable city in the nation. The top ranked sidewalk
projects are ones that fill in gaps in existing sidewalks on busy
streets and that are located in high priority areas for pedestrian
improvements. For more information about the program, see the website,
