Access Seattle is working to keep businesses thriving, travelers moving and construction coordinated during the City’s continued construction boom. Besides getting public and private projects in hub areas to start collaborating, we’re working to ensure contractor compliance across the city. One recent example opened up a pedestrian pathway on Greenwood Avenue North.
Permit inspectors saw unpermitted use of the site, blocking travelers from walking through the area around 14307 Greenwood Avenue N. The team met with the contractor to not only insist on safe pedestrian passage and a smaller project site footprint per established permits, but also to collect several thousand dollars in fines for outstanding issues. Needless to say, the site is now in much better shape.
