Fwd: 2021 Year In Review — In Case You Missed It

[Gordon Padelford]

Hey folks,

Thank you for all that you do to make your neighborhood, and our city, a better place to walk, bike, and live! I hope you'll take a moment to reflect on some of the progress we've made together — despite the rough year. 

Happy Holidays to you and yours!

Putting our values into action

December 2021 Newsletter View this email in your browser At Seattle Neighborhood Greenways we believe that our streets should reflect our shared values as a city, including: safety, racial equity, clean environment, accessibility, affordability, convenience, kid-friendly streets, health, and happiness. Read about 9 ways we made our city better reflect our shared values in 2021!  Click here to make an end of year donation today! We are excited to see the completion of many much-anticipated projects that will make a huge difference to people walking, rolling, biking, and getting to transit across Seattle in 2021. Read about some of the new protected bike lanes, street crossings, and sidewalks we are thankful for this year.  Fed up with leaves and mud making sidewalks and bike lanes dangerously slippery and inaccessible, our volunteers set out to do something. Here's what happened next.  In the past 10 years, 27 people have been killed while walking, biking, and jogging along and across Aurora. The Aurora Reimagined Coalition is a group of activists, community organizations, businesses, and neighborhood groups who are determined to make it a safer street for everyone. Read about how we are working to fix one of Seattle's most dangerous streets.  We are hiring!  We are currently hiring two positions: a Communications Director and a Development Director. Learn more and apply at seattlegreenways.org/jobs! Please feel free to share with job boards or people who might be interested!  Our friends at the Seattle Parks Foundation are also hiring for a contractor to support Duwamish Valley Safe Streets. Learn more and apply.  And Seattle Public Schools is hiring a Safe Routes to School Program Coordinator, which will make a huge difference in getting kids walking and rolling to school.  Did you miss this awesome video? Ten years ago, groups of neighbors from three neighborhoods discovered their shared interest in making Seattle a more walkable and bikeable city, and a shared desire to create a more equitable and welcoming movement for walking and biking. Here's what happened next. Do NOT miss this 10th Anniversary Video!  Around the City Seattle Neighborhood Greenways is a grassroots coalition of neighborhood chapters that plan and advocate for safe, equitable, and comfortable streets for all. Progress is happening across the city thanks to people like you. Click here to get connected with an SNG group in your neighborhood.
