For Draft Letter to SDOT on the Alki Point Healthy Street Project:

Appreciation for providing Healthy Street funding and scheduling the walk with SDOT (Greg Spotts and project team) and Seattle Parks last year. It sounds like SDOT and SPU are coordinating 63rd St. Pump Station Project. We did receive a response from SPU on coordination efforts for preserving the condition of the Beach Drive bulkhead.

Points to consider:

The temporary amendments in place today have effectively created a safe pedestrian and family-friendly environment for all visitors to enjoy. Surprisingly it has also addressed undesirable night activities (e.g. noise and racing). Hearing from many user groups and neighbors, the focus on the Alki Street entries and the 63rd and Beach Drive should be of high importance. Because of the tendency of excessive speeds on the 63rd and Beach Drive transitions there is evidence of sign relocation as cars compete for entry/exit.
