Slow Waters Initiative - Speed Humps
About This Grant
The Slow Waters Initiative aims to enhance neighborhood safety and community well-being by reducing vehicle speeds on Waters Avenue South. A 2019 SDOT study found that average speeds exceed the 20 mph limit by 50%, with extreme cases reaching 50-75 mph. Given the high pedestrian activity—including families, children, and cyclists—traffic calming measures are essential. After evaluation, SDOT approved the installation of five speed humps as the most effective solution. This project will improve walkability, deter crime, and strengthen community connections. The Slow Waters Committee, supported by the Rainier Beach Community Club, will lead the initiative with funding from the Neighborhood Matching Fund, volunteer support, and neighborhood contributions. Implementation includes grant submission, permitting, and construction, with completion expected by summer.
