Golden Gardens Drive NW could close temporarily as part of the city’s program to help residents access more active space.
According to Ethan Bergerson from the Seattle Department of Transportation, SDOT and Seattle Parks and Recreation are looking at adding Golden Gardens Drive to their #KeepItMoving streets program, “in order to reduce overcrowding in Golden Gardens by creating more active space for people to walk, bike, skate, and roll.”
SDOT has not yet made a decision about the street closure, and if it happens, Bergerson says it would not be permanent like the Stay Healthy Streets program. Rather, it would look more like the Green Lake Park and Alki Beach road closures, which are temporary while COVID-19 limits outdoor activities.
We’ll update with any new information about the potential closure.
