Market to MOHAI

FOCUS ZONES Market to MOHAI consists of three significantly enhanced streetscapes.

Western Avenue With the removal of the viaduct, Western Avenue will become a greatly enhanced and desirable pedestrian route, forming the western stretch of the corridor connecting to the Pike Place Market.

Bell Street Park Bell Street Park forms the middle stretch of Market to MOHAI. Through already completed or planned new streetscape projects, the streetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s common character of rich pedestrian amenities will connect from the Bell Street cruise terminal to Denny Way.

Westlake Avenue Westlake Avenue, already home to vital commerce and a new, thriving transit corridor, will be enhanced with the Westlake Micro-Parks reclaiming underutilized streetscape areas as treasured spaces to linger and engage with others.

About

The Market to MOHAI corridor leverages existing public streetscapes and spaces, and adjacent property owners and businesses, to forge a vital new connection through some of Seattle’s thriving business districts, high-density neighborhoods and cultural institutions. A visual identity was developed that brands the corridor and provides directional indication along the two-way trail. The corridor is built from a kit-of-parts that includes wayfinding and cultural content to be applied or implemented along existing streetscapes to provide fun and intuitive navigation, as well as “discoveries” that enhance the experience of walking and lingering. It is a prototype for a larger planned network of urban trails designed to work together to create greater pedestrian connectivity and enriched experience.
