The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) reports that they have temporarily closed the public stairway that runs between 18th Avenue South and 20th Avenue South at South Lucile Street, through the greenbelt east of Cleveland High School. During the next two months, SDOT crews will rebuild a lower portion of the stairway which does not meet current standards. A pedestrian detour is in place.

I use this staircase often and I’m happy to hear it’s getting attention
The Lucille Stairs cut through the Maple School Ravine Natural Area which is being restored by neighbors, the EOS Alliance and the Green Seattle Partnership. They are having a cool work party on 10-10-10 at the top of the stairs with a party to follow. From Beacon Ave. you can find Lucille St and 20th Ave S.

I love/hate those stairs for a great workout!
