Resident asks council to extend Inglewood sidewalk project two blocks for school safety
Summary
At public comment, Jillian Wallace urged the city to extend the planned Inglewood sidewalk project by two blocks to reach NE 211th Avenue and to add traffic mitigation at a five‑point intersection near Inglewood Hill Road to protect school walkers and longtime residents.
Jillian Wallace, speaking as a resident of the historic Inglewood plat, asked the council to extend a planned sidewalk‑gap project that currently runs from the roundabout near 216th to 213th so it reaches 211th Avenue NE. Wallace cited a summer collision at a stop sign located by a school bus stop and described a nearby five‑point intersection with blind turns that she called "super dangerous."
"May I request a motion to please extend the sidewalk improvement by another 2 blocks? Extend to 2 11th Avenue North East, please," Wallace said, asking the council to prioritize safety for the city’s oldest communities. She also asked council to be notified of opportunities as design and staffing change so longstanding gaps are not overlooked.
Council acknowledged the comment during the public comment period; no formal agenda action was taken at the meeting on this request, but staff and council members heard the safety concern.
