PROJECT BELLTOWN

A newly renovated Seattle Center Arena will be a vital asset to the North Downtown community, Seattle, and the region at large as it connects with and supports the surrounding community as a good neighbor. Increased accessibility and convenience of sustainable transportation options are fundamental to the long-term success of the Arena project.

The City of Seattle is leading a number of efforts to study and improve transportation and mobility in and around the Seattle Center and North Downtown neighborhoods.

ONE CENTER CITYOne Center City is a near-term plan and 20-year vision for how we move through, connect to, and experience Seattle’s Center City—a study area that includes 10 central Seattle neighborhoods from Uptown to the International District. One Center City is a collaboration between the City of Seattle, Sound Transit, King County, and the Downtown Seattle Association to make the streets, sidewalks, and storefronts of Center City work.

NORTH DOWNTOWN MOBILITY ACTION PLANAs part of the One Center City work, and in response to community input on the Seattle Center Arena, the City of Seattle is developing a North Downtown Mobility Action Plan. It is focused on the Uptown, Belltown, and South Lake Union neighborhoods. The plan will build on previous community and transportation planning work, and identify and prioritize ways to improve how we move, connect, and experience our streets and public places. North Downtown Mobility Action Plan efforts are being planned around the timeline for the Seattle Center Arena EIS.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENTAn Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is prepared under the State Environmental Policy Act. The EIS will evaluate probable adverse environmental impacts resulting from the renovation of the Seattle Center Arena. A draft EIS will be released in the spring of 2018. The EIS will identify impacts, and study and recommend mitigation related to construction and operation of the renovated Seattle Center Arena.

CONTEXTNorth Downtown Mobility Action Plan


PROJECT BELLTOWN

The North Downtown Mobility Action Plan will identify and prioritize transportation improvements for all modes that build upon existing community plans and align with other ongoing efforts.

Under the guiding principle to align North Downtown mobility improvements with community priorities and visions, the Mobility Action Plan will build upon neighborhood-generated ideas for transportation and public realm improvements from the following:
