The new addition of overhead lights now hangs across 3rd Avenue from Virginia to Steward Streets.
Third Avenue in Seattle is looking a little brighter. This is part of Mayor Bruce Harrell’s Downtown Activation Plan. The plan has the goal of improving the downtown area, making it safer and more welcoming for tenants, businesses, employees, residents and tenants alike."I was shocked and surprised when I saw them going up," said downtown resident Meyer. "I think this just makes the area so much more palatable for those of us who live in the area.
"Groff referenced the multipronged approach to improving the area. Improvements include freshly pained murals, getting tenants in empty storefronts and increasing foot traffic."We’re trying this step-by-step," he said. "You beautify the buildings. Lighting is impactful because it draws people to the area and it makes you feel comfortable."Third Avenue has its challenges.
