Lid I-5 Walking Tour

When: Thursday, September 12 @ 5:30 PM
Where: Polyclinic parking lot, 703 Marion Street (corner of Marion St & 7th Ave)
Registration

See I-5 up close and personal where it cuts through the heart of Seattle, and learn about the community-led efforts to put a lid on it.

This grassroots urban design effort is gaining momentum in the mission to build a more connected, sustainable, and equitable city. Join the volunteer-led Lid I-5 Steering Committee on a tour of the Downtown lid study area to experience the dreadful freeway canyon firsthand and hear the latest project details. You’ll see how Seattle’s unique topography and the freeway configuration will influence design, and walk through existing lids at Freeway Park and the Convention Center. And you’ll learn about the project’s latest milestones with public policy and funding that are making it happen.

Join us rain or shine. Comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing are encouraged. This walk is approximately 2 miles and includes staircases and hill climbs.

Donations of $10 per person or more are welcome but not required to participate. Your contribution can help sustain our efforts for the years to come, through our fiscal partnership with the Seattle Parks Foundation.
