Dearest, Friends, and Neighbors,
This is the 6th year for our granddaughter, Ellie, collecting donations for the local
Food Bank.   She created this project when she was 5 years old.   Her good friends
Annabelle, Sadie, Ruby, siblings, and their families have also volunteered to help
with this Annual Fund Raising Project.    Since 2012 they have raised and donated
over $4,395 in cash, plus additional boxed and canned food.
The girls have asked, ” Please come and help the less fortunate, and taste some
lemonade and really tasty homemade baked goods ! ”      
Ellie and her younger sister, Penny will again be baking goodies with grandma Jane,
while Annabelle, Sadie and their families are busy preparing and baking as well. The
girls sincerely thank family, friends, and neighbors for donating baked goods and/or
money to this very important cause. If you cannot join us for the event, you can drop
a donation in the mail, or come by our address below for a visit.
These youngsters are an example of truly loving and caring hearts !
Please pass this on to your friends, family, and neighbors.
Chris & Jane Bihary…(206) 331-0265…211 N.W. 143rd St., Seattle WA 98177

Broadview Your Voice, Your Choice Vote Results!

2017 Your Voice, Your Choice: Parks and Streets Vote Results in District 5

DISTRICT 5  

  • Lake City: Crossing Improvements on 35th Ave NE & NE 130th St (Cost: $75,000, Total Votes: 686)
  • Meadowbrook: Traffic Calming along Ravenna Ave NE near NE 98th St (Cost: $88,200, Total Votes: 633)
  • Pinehurst: Crossing Improvements near Hazel Wolf School (Cost: $90,000, Total Votes: 630)
  • Broadview: Walkway Improvements near Broadview-Thomson K-8 (Cost: $90,000, Total Votes: 584)

As a bonus, while Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) reviewed ideas submitted by Your Voice, Your Choice participants, it ran the projects through its program priorities and was able to fund additional traffic calming and pedestrian improvement projects in underserved neighborhoods throughout the City. SDOT will work with communities to announce, design, and implement these projects in the upcoming year.

To provide some context to the results above, with $2 million to spend on park and street improvements, we allotted a maximum of $285,000 per City Council District. After the top projects in each district were selected by voters, there was $233,019 remaining in the budget. These dollars were used to fund one additional project in the three districts with the highest voter participation (Districts 1, 2, and 5).

You will also note that the number of funded projects varies per district. This is because the fund allotment is based strictly on overall cost and not the number of projects. The funding for these projects will be included as part of the Mayor’s 2018 Proposed Budget, and the work will begin in 2018.

This is the second year we have asked residents to weigh in on how to spend a portion of the City’s budget. Last year the focus was on youth, and this year anyone over the age of 11 could participate.  We are blown away by the response with 7,737 community members voting for projects in their neighborhoods! We are so grateful to everyone who participated.
