Public Safety Survey & Street Civility in Pioneer Square

Public Safety & Street Civility in Pioneer Square

On Tuesday August 11th, 2015 we conducted a Public Safety Open House to continue the conversation about public safety and street civility in Pioneer Square. We had a great turnout, but the conversation didn’t stop there! We also created a brief online survey which closed August 21st to hear more opinions on how to make a safer Pioneer Square. On behalf of the Alliance for Pioneer Square, the Pioneer Square BIA, and the Pioneer Square Residents Council we thank you for sharing your concerns and ideas. Your input was vitally important and will be key in developing a multifaceted set of strategies regarding street civility and public safety.

Those strategies will include:

Advocacy with the Mayor, Police Chief, City Departments and the City Council
Implementation of tools and strategies for neighborhood residents and businesses
Communication

Please check back to hear the results from your input and the next steps we will take to make our neighborhood even better!

Center City Connector – Oct 29 Open House – Save the Date!

SAVE THE DATE!

The next Center City Connector open house is on Tuesday, October 29 from 5 – 7pm at Pike Place Market (location details below and on the website).

Mayor McGinn and the project team will give brief remarks from 5:30 – 6pm. Otherwise, the event will be open house-style, so come and go as you please. We’ll have light refreshments.

The purpose of the open house is to share the results of our final round of analysis – we’ll show how a streetcar on 1^st Avenue would operate in mixed traffic versus its own lane. We hope you’ll join us to learn more and to share your feedback on the project.

If you have questions or would like to request any accommodations or interpretation for the event, please contact me at allison.schwartz@seattle.gov or (206) 386-4654.

LOCATION DETAILS:

Pike Place Market

The open house will be on the 3^rd floor of the Pike Place Market Economy Building (above the section of the Market that houses the newsstand, Rachel the Pig, DeLaurenti’s, and mini donuts). We will be in the Elliot Bay Room and Atrium Loft space.

An ADA accessible entrance is located off of 1^st Avenue, just south of Pike Street. Enter into the double doors of the Main Atrium, right next to La Vaca Burrito Express and take the elevator to the 3^rd floor. We’ll have a welcome table right off the elevator.

Stairs are located just past Rachel the Pig, to the left of the Mt. Townsend Creamery booth.

The Market is a busy place – we’ll put as much signage out as we can to help guide you to the event!
