LEVY DOLLARS AT WORK | New crosswalks and bike lanes, new and repaired stairways, nearly 10 miles of repaved streets, and more thanks to your Levy dollars

We are pleased to present the Q3 2022 Levy to Move Seattle Report! The report highlights work funded by the voter-approved Levy to Move Seattle (thank you, Seattle!) from July through September 2022.

More information can also be found in the online Levy dashboard.

Finishing strong on the Levy is one of the most important tasks we have over the next few years. I am proud of our work across the department to remain on track to meet almost every one of our 30 commitments made to voters in 2015, despite a global pandemic and the associated strain on City revenues that we rely on to add resources to Levy projects, as well as staffing and materials shortages. In the few programs where we will not meet 2015 commitments to voters, we are identifying funding opportunities to get as close as possible to those commitments. Simultaneously, we are beginning to develop options for a transportation funding package for the future to continue to realize our collective vision for transportation in Seattle. – Greg Spotts, SDOT Director
