Seattle Neighborhood Greenways (SNG) is Seattle\u2019s leading grassroots advocacy organization working to make every neighborhood a great place to walk, bike and live.<\/p>\n
We envision a future where Seattle’s streets unite neighborhoods and connect people to where they need to go. Walking and biking are convenient, safe, comfortable, and even joyful. Children are able to walk and bike to school and to parks. Seniors are able to stay active and connected by walking and biking. Seattle’s streets \u2014 one third of our publicly-owned space \u2014 incorporate neighborhood priorities for play, relaxation, recreation, greenery, and community-building. The streets and transportation systems are truly accessible and welcoming, and reflect the needs of people of every age, language, ethnicity, gender, race, ability, and income. Achieving this vision will give us more choices for how to get around, keep us safer, save us money, and reduce climate pollution.<\/p>\n
Seattle Neighborhood Greenways has a\u200b n adopted Racial Equity Action Plan\u200b. Internally, SNG commits to becoming a racially, culturally, and socially diverse organization that treats all people with respect and dignity and recognizes the interconnected nature of overlapping systems of oppression and discrimination. Externally, SNG strives to redress the historical and systemically-rooted inequities in transportation and city investments. We endeavor to do this work in solidarity with communities of color as a trustworthy and respectful partner.<\/p>\n
