Beacon Hill Stay Healthy Street

North Beacon Hill Healthy Street Improvements Coming Soon!

As soon as Spring 2023, the north section of the Beacon Hill Healthy Street from S Spokane St to S Massachusetts St will be permanent! We will be installing new signage with a concrete block base and painted curb space around it at each intersection of the permanent Healthy Street. Unauthorized on-street parking located within 20ft of the intersection will be removed for new installation.

A permanent Healthy Street means that the street will continue to be open for people walking, rolling, biking, and playing, and closed to pass-through traffic.

What does this mean for drivers?

1. People driving who need to get to homes and destinations along Beacon Hill Healthy Streets are still able to drive on these streets; drivers should use extra caution and yield to people
2. People enjoying the street should be mindful of drivers trying to reach their destinations on each block.

The south section of the Beacon Hill Healthy street, from S Dakota St to S Lucile St, is still under more review as we conduct additional outreach to determine next steps. It will remain a Healthy Street until further notice. To receive updates on future engagement opportunities continue subscribing to these updates.

Adopt a Healthy Street Planter

For permanent Healthy Street locations, we can install planters at Healthy Street intersections (see diagram below).  Healthy Street planters will need to be watered and maintained by neighbors.

If you are interested in requesting and taking care of a planter at your Healthy Street, please complete our Planter Form and maintenance agreement.
