RACE AND SOCIAL JUSTICE INTIATIVE - OVERVIEW Lake City is more diverse, less wealthy, has more children, and a higher percentage of non-English speaking households than the median for Seattle. A central goal of the public outreach process was to LAKE WASHINGTON be inclusive and accessible to all members of the Lake City community. Some elements of that process included: - Multiple informal public outreach efforts held during the Lake City Farmer’s market using multilingual materials that relied heavily on imagery to reduce language barriers - A Survey Monkey was created to reach individuals who could not attend during outreach times - Targeted stakeholder meetings held with key groups (SHA, management of God’s Little Acre, etc.) - Publication of outreach materials and results to the Parks website Results of the public input process were used to guide the park design including: - Selection of the program elements and allocation of the budget PROJECT SITE 1/4 MILE RADIUS - Layout and site circulation - The desired look and feel of the park The public input generated from this process will continue to be used to guide the project through the LAKE CITY MINI PARK remainder of the design process COMMUNITY African American 8% CENTER (Seattle 7.9%) LAKE CITY WAY NE Asian 15% ALBERT DAVIS (Seattle 13.8%) PARK NE 125TH ST Hispanic 7% (Seattle 6.6%) European American 53% Other Groups ~25% (Seattle 69.5%) (Seattle 2.4%) LIBRARY Lake City Seattle THORNTON CREEK LAKE CITY URBAN VILLAGE English Speaking At Home 67% 78.7% VIRGIL FLAIM BOUNDARY Median Household Income $67,000 $70,954 PARK Households Below Poverty Line 18.7% 13.6% % Rental Occupied Housing 51.6% 51.9% NORTH % Population > 18 21.3% 15.4% Lake City Landbanked SIte - Design Commission Presentation #1 3 05.04.2017
ACCESS AND ZONING LR2 LR2 The project site is currently vacant and is located within the Lake City Urban Village on the east side of Lake City Way. Lake City is less wealthy and more diverse than the median for Seattle (see later page on RSJI Overview) and east Lake City is demographically less wealthy, has higher diversity, and a higher percentage of renters than the part of Lake City west of Lake City Way. PROPOSED GREENWAY Currently all of the public amenities in Lake City are located west of Lake City Way (see diagram on previous page). The new project will help ameliorate this situation. In terms of Access, the site has several adantageous adjacencies includ- ing: NC3-65 NC3-65 E PROPOSED ARTISAN APTS - Proximity to Bus Stops on the busy 125 St corridor T U - Located on 33rd Ave which has been identifjed as a future Neighborhood Bike & Pedestrian Greenway NC3P-65 O 3 - Located at the edge of the Lake City Pedestrian Overlay Zone R With the potential addition of crosswalks at 33rd Ave and 125th St, the project has the potential to be both locally and T LAUREL ACADEMY I S more regionally accessible to Lake City residents N LR2 A R Zoning in the area is currently above the capacity of the current building stock much of which is >25 years old. The older T building stock provides affordable rents but is also a potential target for future development as Seattle continues to grow.
