Stop signs here, speed bumps there … SDOT’s list of ‘Safe Routes to School’ projects for West Seattle. See if your route is among them

Thanks to reader tips, we’ve reported some recent projects in school zones, such as the 41st/Dakota all-way stop (photo above from last week) and the SW Holden speed bumps. Today, SDOT sent a list of “Safe Routes to School projects either recently completed or under construction this year at West Seattle schools … designed to make it safer and easier for students and families to walk, bike, and roll to school”:
