The push to make Seattle’s Aurora Avenue safer for all

An article in Today’s Seattle Times describes the problems along Aurora Avenue North and the efforts of people in the nearby communities to improve safety and livability.

Aurora Avenue North has consistently been one of Seattle’s most dangerous roads for drivers and pedestrians.

The Aurora Reimagined Coalition, which includes members from Greenwood, Phinney Ridge, Licton Springs, Haller Lake, Bitter Lake, Green Lake and Fremont, began meeting in January. The group also has invited small business owners to share their perspectives.

“We’re trying to be very open and inclusive of all sorts of people and all sorts of viewpoints, trying to make sure that the voice of all the neighborhoods along Aurora get heard,” Lang said.
