Advocates host memorial for future victims of Rainier Ave

Advocates host memorial for future victims of Rainier Ave

In the last 10 years, there have been 1,522 crashes that resulted in a community member being injured or killed on Rainier Ave – one every 2.5 days. Yet, the city has not committed to any comprehensive improvements to the corridor, so Seattle Neighborhood Greenways hosted a memorial for future victims of traffic violence yesterday morning. They left behind a piece of public art, consisting of a shovel and a mirror, symbolizing the action the city can take to fix Rainier or the possible next victim if they don’t.

If you want to help the cause, please consider sending a letter to our city leaders: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/safety-for-rainier-ave-s
