City adding sidewalks, bus islands to Greenwood Ave between 90th and 105th

The city is in the final stages of designing a big upgrade to Greenwood Ave N between N 90th and 105th Streets, a busy street with few sidewalks and inadequate bus stops.

Today: Phinney Ridge/Greenwood neighborhood greenways meetup + SBAB meeting

Perhaps few neighborhoods in the city can benefit from neighborhood greenways as much as Greenwood. With large sections of the neighborhood famously missing sidewalks, a solid network of neighborhood greenways could do wonders for Greenwood residents who want to have a safe way to walk and bike to area destinations.
