The park system comprises about 10% of the City’s land area; it includes 485 buildings, 224 parks, 185 athletic fields, 122 children's play areas, 24 community centers, 151 outdoor tennis courts, 22 miles of boulevards, an indoor tennis center, two outdoor and eight indoor swimming pools, four golf courses, studios, boat ramps, moorage, fishing piers, trails, camps, viewpoints and open spaces, a rock climbing site, a conservatory, a classical Japanese garden, and a waterfront aquarium. The development of this system is guided by the Seattle Parks & Recreation Plan 2000, the 38 neighborhood plans, the Joint Athletic Facilities Development Program with the Seattle School District, the 1999 Seattle Center and Community Centers Levy, the 2000 Parks Levy, and DPR’s annual update to the Major Maintenance Plan. 2000 Parks Levy In November 2000, Seattle voters approved a $198.2 million levy lid lift for Parks and Recreation. The levy closely follows the plan forged by the Pro Parks 2000 Citizens Planning Committee. The levy is designed to fund more than 100 projects to improve maintenance and enhance programming of existing parks, including the Woodland Park Zoo; acquire, develop and maintain new neighborhood parks, green spaces, playfields, trails and boulevards; and add out-of-school and senior activities.

    PORT AUTHORITY OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT V.4.0 7/20/18 STATION DESIGN GUIDELINES ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Port Authority of Allegheny County (PAAC) provides public transportation throughout Pittsburgh and Allegheny County. The Authority’s 2,600 employees operate, maintain, and support bus, light rail, incline, and paratransit services for approximately 200,000 daily riders. Port Authority is currently focused on enacting several improvements to make service more efficient and easier to use. Numerous projects are either underway or in the planning stages, including implementation of smart card technology, real-time vehicle tracking, and on-street bus rapid transit. Port Authority is governed by an 11-member Board of Directors – unpaid volunteers who are appointed by the Allegheny County Executive, leaders from both parties in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives and Senate, and the Governor of Pennsylvania. The Board holds monthly public meetings. Port Authority’s budget is funded by fare and advertising revenue, along with money from county, state, and federal sources. The Authority’s finances and operations are audited on a regular basis, both internally and by external agencies. Port Authority began serving the community in March 1964. The Authority was created in 1959 when the Pennsylvania Legislature authorized the consolidation of 33 private transit carriers, many of which were failing financially. The consolidation included the Pittsburgh Railways Company, along with 32 independent bus and inclined plane companies. By combining fare structures and centralizing operations, Port Authority established the first unified transit system in Allegheny County. Participants Port Authority of Allegheny County would like to thank agency partners for supporting the Light Rail Transportation Station Guidelines, as well as those who participated by dedicating their time and expertise.

Basic Health covers almost 100,000 Washington resi- dents, who pay a portion of the monthly premium based on their income. The program has been hit hard by budget cuts on the part of the Legislature and the Governor. The average enrollee currently pays $36 a month and the state pays the remaining $209. Last month the Health Care Authority, which administers the program, announced a rise in fees. The average enrollee will pay $61.60 in 2010, and the annual deductible, now $150, will increase to $250 on January 1, 2010. As many as 40,000 Basic Health members could have lost coverage under various options under review in the aftermath of the legislature’s 43 percent cut to the Basic Health budget. Those options, now off the table, included providing coverage to only the lowest-income members, cutting off members based on their time with the program, or con- ducting a lottery. In announcing the rate increases, Basic Health admin- PHOTO BY JEN CALLEJA istrator Steven Hill said the rates were raised to protect the High Point resident and volunteer Cynthia Clouser cooks a delicious and healthy meal for the Greenbridge Community Council prior to a recent meeting.

  • The Artists' View of Seattle

    WHERE DOES SEATTLE’S CREATIVE COMMUNITY GO FOR INSPIRATION? Allow us to introduce some of our city’s resident artists, who share with you, in their own words, some of their favorite places and why they choose to make Seattle their home. Known as one of the nation’s cultural centers, Seattle has more arts-related businesses and organizations per capita than any other metropolitan area in the United States, according to a recent study by Americans for the Arts. Our city pulses with the creative energies of thousands of artists who call this their home. In this guide, twenty-four painters, sculptors, writers, poets, dancers, photographers, glass artists, musicians, filmmakers, actors and more tell you about their favorite places and experiences.

  • Local Places to Visit Around Seattle

    Local Places to Visit Around Seattle

    Eastside Literacy Talk Time Spring 2006 Talk Time Topic: Local Places to Visit around Seattle Let’s get started… Take a few minutes to think of a local place that you visited. • Where did you go, and what did you do? • Who went with you? (friends, family, etc.) • How much did it cost? • Would you recommend this place to others? Why or why not? Background: Many people go to coffee shops (Starbucks is a favorite destination) or shopping when they have cabin fever. At other times, they want a longer trip or a change of scenery so they take a day trip. Families, couples, and people of all ages enjoy seeing or doing something new. The Seattle area offers many different types of things to do and see close to home. It is possible to take a ferry, drive to the mountains, and visit the Pike Place Market all in the same day! Spend 5 minutes asking each other the following questions. Interview 2-3 people about any local trips that they have taken. Work with your Talk Time leader to complete the grid below. Share your results with the group. Name Where did you go? What did you see? Would you go again? Discussion Questions: What places would you like to visit? How can you find out more about the cost, the transportation and any other questions you might have? What activities do you enjoy doing? Do you prefer indoor or outdoor activities? What did you do in your country? Did you take local trips? Where did you go? Did you take trips in Winter? Spring? Summer? Fall? Why? Some outings are “kid friendly” and others are not.
