  • 2-way protected bike lane around Green Lake
  • New paint and post curb bulbs on the north side of 80th on either side of the Ashworth Ave N intersection
  • Repaving of nearly a mile of 80th, including replacing or repairing broken concrete panels and repaving asphalt in specific areas

Additionally, Seattle Parks and Recreation will paint the middle stripe on the inner loop path around Green Lake on Wednesday and Thursday from 7:30 p.m. to 6 a.m. on both days. The park will remain open, but visitors are asked to be mindful of the wet paint, crews, and equipment.

The loop is still open only to pedestrians and one-way, a change as a result of the pandemic. Wheelchairs are permitted.
