Bike Happy Cascadia

The Aurora corridor does not currently meet the needs of a 21st Century Seattle. We need to re­envision the section of Highway 99 that stretches from the Aurora Bridge to the city's northern boundary. This effort will amplify the needs of the many neighborhoods that touch Aurora and bring community-focused insight to the planning process. Through a series of online interactive visioning workshops, the Aurora Reimagined Coalition (ARC) will engage neighbors and stakeholders of Aurora. Trained volunteers will help facilitate discussion and elicit the public's priorities. We will raise up a shared community vision of a future Aurora Ave N. With public input we will create a list of short- and long-­term priorities and projects that WSDOT and SDOT can implement in order to make Aurora a safer, more enjoyable place to live, work, shop, and travel through.

Ballard Public Art Committee

The Ballard Alliance, Ballard Public Art Committee, and Parks and Rec (the parties) aim to increase community ownership of Ballard Commons Park, the only open green space in the core of downtown Ballard. For years, the parties have collaborated on free park activities and have developed plans for a children's play area in the park which will break ground this year. For this grant proposal, the parties aim to conduct a community painted mural on a utility building in the NW corner of the park with a local artist during the Seattle One Day of Service. This project was originally proposed in 2020 but did not receive funding due to the pandemic. For this project, the artist will paint the outline of the mural on the utility building prior to the One Day of Service so that during the event, volunteers will fill in the mural in a paint by numbers approach. The mural, with existing park activities and future children's play area, will benefit the park and the community it serves.
