Two weeks ago, we reported on the plan to build the
West Seattle Neighborhood Greenway all the way into North Admiral, instead of having its north end at The Junction. The city also announced two drop-in meetings for feedback, and plans for a survey. The first of those meetings is tomorrow morning – and the survey is open now. You can answer it here, and/or stop by
Uptown Espresso at California/Edmunds/Erskine, 10:30-noon on Saturday. Meantime, from an update sent by SDOT, more information about the greenway plan:
Our final route for the West Seattle Neighborhood Greenway reflects many of the needs we heard from the community to connect people with schools, parks, local businesses, and the greater transportation network. The new neighborhood greenway will bring affordable, active transportation options for all ages and abilities.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) Several South Bay teachers went back to school Monday with kids in their classrooms. So how did day one go?
Theresa Hull, a 1st and 2nd grade teacher at Guadalupe Elementary School, told ABC7 News Anchor Ama Daetz how it went.
7:40 a.m. It s the first day of school in February. I m headed to Guadalupe School. I have 12 students returning today in person. I ve got all my PPE, my classroom is ready and I think I will have some very excited children in about 25 minutes, so here we go!
9:55 a.m. It s about 10 o clock. We ve been here about 2 hours and it s going great. These kids are so happy to be back. They have the best smiles. They re so excited. This is a reminder to me that nurses and doctors are amazing because this much PPE on my face is tricky. Hats off to all other first responders who ve been doing this a lot longer than me. So it s going great. I m very happy to be here and the kids are amazing.

The Supreme Court ruled that “
