South Seattle in Focus: Baseline Data for Equitable Transportation and Public Space Planning

Abstract

This project documents non-motorized transportation (NMT) and public life patterns in South Seattle—an area historically underserved and understudied in local transportation planning— using SDOT’s Public Life Assessment framework. Our baseline findings for several sites, including the future Hillman City Light Rail Station and surrounding area will help guide equitable planning, investment, and improvements to support community mobility and vibrancy.
