Golden Gardens Drive will stay closed for another month to allow for outdoor recreation.
The closed section of road is part of SDOT’s Keep Moving Streets program, in which four city parks have adjacent streets closed to thru traffic. Along with Golden Gardens, Green Lake, Alki Point, and Lake Washington Blvd all have nearby streets closed.
Golden Gardens and Lake Washington Blvd will both reopen on Oct. 5, but Alki and Green Lake will remain closed for a while longer. The Green Lake closure could remain in place through the fall and winter, depending on feedback from the community.
The streets remain closed to thru-traffic, but are open to residents and for differently-abled individuals who need access to the parks.
Updates on the individual schedules for each street closure is listed on the SDOT blog.
Keep all parks local! No one from outside the neighborhood should be allowed to use a “city” park, because I’m a progressive, I hate cars and the people who drive them from questionable neighborhoods.
