The University worked with the community to complete landscape restoration for Campus Parkway with new seasonal plantings. Plantings included colorful foliage plants such as shrubs & perennials and seasonal color from perennials & annuals. The University of Washington took the lead on providing labor to design, install and maintain this project. In addition, the U-District Youth and Community Project (UYACP) provided ten homeless youth to assist with the planting under the supervision of the UW crews. The University provided $7300 in goods and services for this project. The remaining $3800 was paid for out of a City of Seattle Neighborhood Matching Fund grant.
