This grassroots urban design effort is gaining momentum in the mission to build a more connected, sustainable, and equitable city. Join the volunteer-led Lid I-5 Steering Committee on a bike tour of the University District/Wallingford lid study area and under-construction and completed lids over State Route 520. You&#x27;ll learn about the latest milestones with public policy and funding that are making the project happen.The tour starts at the southwest corner of NE 50th Street and 7th Avenue NE. We&#x27;ll ride the perimeter of the potential future lid site and then travel through the University District and UW campus on our way to the under-construction Montlake Lid. From there we will cross the SR-520 bridge and visit three new lids on the Eastside. You&#x27;ll learn about the unifying history of these projects, see how lids have enhanced neighborhood connections, and hear critiques on landscape and urban design.Participants bring their own bikes.
