Final push to pass Seattle Prop 1: Transportation Levy!
Clara Cantor
We're in our final push to pass Seattle Proposition 1 to invest $1.55 billion in critical safety and mobility improvements:
- Build 350 sidewalks
- Paint 3,600 crosswalks
- Improve visibility at intersections so that everyone can see each other
- Add bike lanes where people are being hurt
- Calm dangerous speeding
- Fix the top five most dangerous streets in Seattle — Aurora Ave N, Rainier Ave S, MLK Way S, Lake City Way NE, and 4th Ave S
- Complete 70 safety projects near schools
- Upgrade access to 8 light rail stations
But none of this will happen unless we pass it. Unfortunately, many people don't even know it's on the ballot! That's why we need you to help out in the final week before election day! It's easy and no prior experience is necessary.
