The project site is currently vacant and is located within the Lake City Urban Village on the east side of Lake City Way. Lake City is less wealthy and more diverse than the median for Seattle (see later page on RSJI Overview) and east Lake City is demographically less wealthy, has higher diversity, and a higher percentage of renters than the part of Lake City west of Lake City Way. Currently all of the public amenities in Lake City are located west of Lake City Way (see diagram on previous page). The new project will help ameliorate this situation. In terms of Access, the site has several adantageous adjacencies includ- ing:5

DRAINAGE VEGETATION & TREE CANOPY COMMUNITY ACCESS & USE URBAN HEALTH
Hardscapes such as paths and play areas incorporate pervious pavement to allow rain waterto infiltrate on site. Stormwater flow dispersion into the lawn and planting areas mitigate runoff into the strett and ROW. Sustainability checklist TBD The large street tree canopy and small flowing trees absorb rain water and reduce the heat island effect. Amended soils increase water storage capacity and infiltration, as well as support plant growth. Increased planted areas promote stormwater absorption and infiltration while featuring native and adapted species. The park will incorporate community garden areas and tie into the SHA pea patch. The park will retain a basketball court and incorporate play areas that encourages rigorous activity. This park serves the community of Lake City, in particular the neighborhoods east of Lake City Way NE. The proximety to bus lines, major arterials, and civic landmarks produces strong community access. Reappropriating paved vacant city lots for green space is a first step towards improving the health of the urban enviroment. The previously unused area now invites surrounding community use. Plants, open lawns, play areas, improved streetscapes and right of ways all benefit the growing city and create spaces for comunities to care for and grow with while reducing the heat island effect. 01 CONCEPT17
