Downtown Seattle On-Street Parking Swapped for Pavement Park and Food Trucks

Stephen Fesler - November 13, 2017

A new pavement park is slated to open in Downtown Seattle later this month. The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) recently removed on-street parking on the south side of Pine Street between Third Avenue and Fourth Avenue. In place of the parking, SDOT painted down a new blue and yellow design to mark and beautify the future pavement park. A protected bike lane was also installed.

A little more than a week ago, City Traffic Engineer Dongho Chang broke the news in a tweet:
