Northgate: Before the Northgate bicycle/pedestrian bridge can proceed, the agreement between the City of Seattle and North Seattle College on alignment and design needs to be finalized. Transit, bike, and neighborhood advocates have been working the last five years to make this much-needed bridge a reality in time for the opening of the light rail line to Northgate. The Seattle Department of Transportation has revised the bridge design  and is now working to secure an easement from the College. Find out how the latest design update can serve walkers and bicyclists, and what challenges remain to bringing the project to its final form. 

Mandatory Housing Affordability (MHA): The City of Seattle has proposed a policy called “Mandatory Housing Affordability”, which requires developers to build a set percentage of affordable housing (or contribute to an affordable housing fund) when they build a new development. The policy is designed with the goal of ensuring that new growth that occurs will include more affordable housing. Throughout 2018, the City will work to engage the public in neighborhoods with proposed changes.
