BCC Meeting Wednesday Nov 8th 2023: Bell Street final design update from Waterfront Seattle

Our next meeting is on Wednesday, Nov 8th, 2023 at 6:30 pm, presented in partnership with Belltown United.

We’ve discussed the Bell Street project at previous meetings this year. At our November meeting, Waterfront Seattle will be providing a final design update for the Bell St improvement project between 1st and Elliott avenues. The design includes the removal of a travel lane on Bell St, the creation of a two-way protected bike lane, widened sidewalks and pedestrian amenities. The City will also be incorporating the salvaged historic sign bridge that formerly stood on the Alaskan Way viaduct. Join us to learn more!

Join us: in person at Antioch University (2400 3rd Avenue) or via Zoom.
