Rainier Valley Safe Streets

Residents in the Rainier Valley have also been asking for changes to our streets to try to address drive-by shootings as well, and under Harrell's SDOT those asks went absolutely nowhere and no one on council seemed to care.
Around one hour ago, Seattle Fire responded to a driver hitting someone walking on Boren Ave S and S Main Street.
This is on the other side of the Bailey Gatzert campus from the intersection where Christian Salyer was killed on June 1.

A 0.1% countywide sales tax hike is on deck for later this week, largely to fund road improvements outside cities and towns. Seattle city leaders are arguing that a proposed cap diverting several million dollars per year to other cities and towns is unfair.
