Wallingford Healthy Street
Updated December 1, 2023
What's Happening Now?
We are excited to announce that the permanent Wallingford Healthy Street will be installed as soon as summer 2024! This means replacing the temporary signs with permanent signs supported by either concrete sign bases or planters.
Along with installing typical Healthy Street features, we will also be making safety improvements along the route as the Wallingford Neighborhood Greenway enters its second decade of service. For more information on the additional safety enhancements, please see the “Healthy Street Safety Enhancements” section below.
In addition, starting in spring 2024, we will be accepting planter requests for the Wallingford Healthy Street! Once our sign-up form opens, it will be posted on this webpage. Sign up for our email updates to be notified when it becomes available and check this webpage in the spring to fill out the form. For permanent Healthy Street locations, neighbors can elect to replace the standard concrete sign base with planters. SDOT can install planters at Healthy Street intersections based on the requests we receive from neighbors. Neighbors who request planters are responsible for maintaining the planter after installation. For more information about adopting planters and planter maintenance, visit Healthy Street Planters.
Project Map
Design Elements
As part of the permanent Wallingford Healthy Street, we will install additional safety enhancements along this route. These additional improvements include:
Additional all-way stops at the intersections of Burke Ave N with both N 44th St and N 43rd St. These all-way stops will help all users safely pass through these intersections where the Healthy Street route turns.
Painted curb extensions at N 43rd St and Densmore Ave N, and Ashworth Ave N & N 43rd St. These new painted curb extensions will help calm traffic and reduce crossing distances at the T-intersections near Wallingford Playfield and Lincoln High School.
