Month: March 2013

Seattle Parks and Recreation is happy to announce the
construction for the Bell Street Park begins on March 21, 2013.
The completed park will run from 1st – 5th Ave on Bell Street. The
project will be divided into phases with each block being
constructed individually to minimize disruption to local residents
and businesses.

Phase 1 will begin construction on the area from 1st to 2nd Ave.
Parks anticipates this phase to be completed the end of May 2013.

Seattle Parks is providing safe access to all businesses and
residents along this portion of Bell Street during construction.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation during
construction.

For any questions or concerns with project construction, please
