Opinion: Stop Paving Seattle Playgrounds for Parking Lots
Seattle schools are often forced to reduce their playground space in favor of parking and circulation for private cars, but altering the city code could change that. March 5, 2021, 7am PST | Diana Ionescu |
An analysis of recent retrofits at two Seattle schools shows that if the Seattle School District had complied with the City requirement for private car storage in the recent retrofits at Magnolia and Queen Anne Elementaries it would have obliterated all outdoor play space and a significant amount of indoor education space. Margaret McCauley argues that city code requiring Seattle schools to replace playground and activity space with surface parking and car traffic doesn t address the needs of bike riders and pedestrians and takes away valuable outdoor space.
