Starting today, June 3rd, all citizens ages 11 and up can vote on-line (or on paper ballots available at community centers and Seattle Public Library branches,) for Street & Parks projects. Before June 30th, please go to Seattle.gov/yvyc to vote on improvements to streets and parks in your City Council District.
‘Your Voice, Your Choice’ is a participatory budgeting effort to allow Seattle citizens to decide, democratically, how to spend tax-payer money on park and street improvements. Each District (West Fremont is in District #6, and East Fremont is District #4,) has $285,000 to spend on park and street improvements within that District. Please go to Seattle.gov/yvyc to vote for three of the projects listed on the ballot, in the District where you feel most at home.
