Street Improvements Coming to Belltown and 3rd Avenue!

February 25, 2010

Hi Everyone,

I just received a community update from the Seattle Transit Authority and I wanted to give you a heads up that there will be new construction projects starting on 3rd Avenue this spring, all along the Transit Route Corridor.  The project will create more attractive sidewalks and dedicated passenger wating areas, while improving bus travel times in the corrider.

You may need to plan for some extra time when coming to William Collier Design as the availablility of extra parking spaces may diminish due to the construction.

As always I welcome your feedback and comments!
