First Hill Streetcar
Overview
Mithun’s design for the First Hill Streetcar line seamlessly integrates transit infrastructure into multiple urban neighborhoods—where the neighborhoods are the “stars” and the transit stops seek to be secondary. New gathering spaces at three of the stops are being introduced—the Marion/Broadway Plaza will include raingardens that baffle the street; Terrace/Broadway improvements will enhance a panoramic view to Mount Rainier; and a new pedestrian crossing is being considered at the Yesler Terrace stop. This project also includes the City of Seattle’s first cycle track, running along Broadway, from Yesler to Denny. Installations will include work by artist Claudia Fitch.
