South Park Healthy Street

Updated November 5, 2024

What's Happening Now?

Two people walk past a temporary sign on the South Park Healthy Street As soon as this weekend, November 8, we will start construction on the permanent installation of the South Park Healthy Street on S Thistle St, 10th Ave S, and S Sullivan St, from South Park Playground to 13th Pl S.

We will install permanent signage with a concrete block base and newly painted curb space around it at each intersection along the Healthy Street. At intersections where neighbors requested planters, we will install the permanent signage with a planter sign base. (Those neighbors should have already received email confirmations from us with additional requests for more information.) Unauthorized on-street parking located within 20 feet of the intersection will be removed for the permanent sign installation. We may trim trees around the new signs once the permanent installation is complete.

WHAT TO EXPECT FOR CONSTRUCTION
Typical construction hours are weekdays, 7 AM to 5 PM, and include weekend work. Other expected construction impacts may include:

  • Noise, vibration, dust, and debris
  • Construction staging and parking impacts near the work sites
  • “No Parking” areas and other parking impacts
  • Crosswalk and sidewalk closures, and detours for people walking and biking
  • Changes in construction schedule due to weather, etc.
