At our last update meeting, the progress report from the Skybridge Committee team was very encouraging. The project goes for approval to the Seattle City Council Transportation Committee and to the Council itself in early 2025. The full documentation can be found in the update report on Caremerge.
The late Noriko Palmer was a major force behind the resident driven effort to have this project revisited after it was turned down previously. Resident testimonials, street usage data and leadership by Doug Palmer were all critical as the current proposal went through the rather labyrinthine approval process required by the city.
The residents of the Skybridge Committee unanimously recommend that the bridge be named The Noriko Palmer Skybridge.
