Capitol Hill Community Post | Submit your a-MAZE-ing mural design for the Summit Ave E Pavement to Parks project

From City of Seattle Department of Transportation

The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) is planning a Pavement to Parks project for Summit Ave E between E Denny Way and E Olive Way on Capitol Hill. This project would use low-cost, temporary, and adaptable materials to test ideas for a new public space on the small, cut-through block.

Based on feedback from businesses and community members in the neighborhood, there is strong interest in painting a maze mural on the surface of the closed street. This is where you come in!

SDOT is looking for creative ideas for what this mural could look like and how the space could be transformed into an a-MAZE-ing public space. If you’re an artist or have a design idea for this mural (any type of maze is acceptable!), use the attached template to sketch up your idea and send it to[email protected] by Friday, July 8.

During the Capitol Hill Art Walk on July 14th, we’ll be holding a community event on the block and asking people to vote on their favorite designs. SDOT will then paint the winning sketch in space when the project is installed this summer!
