A new aquarium and "Overlook Walk" to Pike Place Market headline a revamped Seattle Waterfront just one year away from its grand opening, all made possible by tearing down the Alaskan Way Viaduct.

"To put the city on track to meeting its mobility, safety, equity, maintenance, and sustainability goals," the coalition of mobility and climate groups wrote, "Seattle must invest just over $3 billion over the next 8 years" in building 60 miles of dedicated transit corridors, 331 miles of new sidewalks, and 154 miles of new bike facilities, among other goals.

2023 saw serious injuries and fatalities involving people who walk or bike skyrocket in Kent. The City has small improvements in the pipeline, but systemic changes may prove more elusive.

The survey found 56% of Seattleites supported a $1.7 billion transportation levy, with safety and transit top concerns.
