Another interesting article in the local rags recently - the Seattle Times reports that we're getting new sidewalks in Columbia City!
Actually, that article is almost exclusively about the sidewalks that are going in on Alki, but if you look at this graphic, you can see that on Rainier Ave from S. Hudson St to S. Ferdinand St. we'll be getting new sidewalks put in.
Also interesting was this map of the sidewalk situation in Seattle. Columbia City seems to be about average - not quite all red like north Seattle, but not a perfect grey either like capitol hill.

Rainier from Hudson to Ferdinand? What's the point of that? They already have sidewalks on both sides of the street. I have no sidewalk on either side of the street for a full block's radius (big blocks, too!) I hope that is a mistake in the paper.
They should do Renton from MLK to Dakota to hte backside of the new rainier vista development. It has high traffic, low visibility and no sidewalks.
I have no sidewalks where I live either (S. Raymond St.). There is healthy enough foot traffic and lots of kids. It sounds like it takes a huge effort to get the city to put in sidewalks, though.
