SEATTLE — Seattle Department of Transportation is accepting applications until Aug. 5 to turn on-street parking spaces into pop-up parks and street projects for the PARK(ing) Day Plus+ event in September.
Residents, businesses, and organizations can participate in the international PARK(ing) Day program, which looks at how streets can be used.
The PARK(ing) Day Plus+ application is on SDOT's website. Completed applications or questions can be emailed to David.Burgesser@seattle.gov.
SDOT is partnering with the Department of Neighborhoods to offer Small Sparks grants of up to $1,000 for projects and events. Grant applications are due by Aug. 5. Contact Ed.Pottharst@seattle.gov or Karen.Selander@seattle.gov about how to apply.
Seattle has participated in PARK(ing) Day since 2007, and is expanding it this year to two days: Friday and Saturday, Sept. 16 and 17. Applicants are encouraged to try out temporary street improvements, such as bike lanes and sidewalks, as well as pop-up parks that have been the focus of the event in the past.
