Parks, trees, and pathways --  ECC helped create all of Eastlake's shoreline parks as well as Fairview Park, Franklin Green Street, Colonnade Park, and the shoreline walkway and plantings by NOAA and south to Lake Union Dry Dock.  ECC has also worked to improve North Gateway Park, Rogers Playfield, Lynn Street Park, and Louisa Arborway.  ECC has also planted trees along several streets, and advocated for the City’s recent planting of trees on Lynn and Newton streets east of Eastlake Avenue.  

I-5/SR520 -- ECC helped secure state funding for the recently completed noise walls along Boylston Avenue and is working toward their extension north to I-5 Ship Canal Bridge and for noise reduction measures on the bridge. 

Public safety and emergency preparedness -- ECC works with the police department to fight thefts and graffiti, and with the police and fire departments to keep the neighborhood safe during the 4th of July fireworks, and to prepared for emergencies.

Traffic and pedestrian safety -- ECC convinced the City to fund and install the boulevard strips in the center of Eastlake Avenue, a missing sidewalk and curbs on Newton Street between Franklin and Eastlake avenues, a soon-to-be constructed safety improvement on Boylston Ave. East by the I-5 southbound on-ramp, traffic lights at several intersections, and other safety improvements.  Ongoing efforts include pedestrian-friendly guidelines for Fairview Avenue E. and a redesign of the Fairview Ave. E./Fairview Ave. N. intersection.  

Transit -- ECC protected Eastlake's bus service from proposed reductions, and is working with large employers and the City to convince King County/Metro that there should be no bus routes through the neighborhood that do not make some stops here.

Art -- Much of the neighborhood’s public art, such as the Cornerstones along Eastlake Avenue, occurred through the initiative of the ECC, which welcomes your further suggestions.

Schools -- ECC works with TOPS-Seward School on many joint projects.  ECC has also been  working for many years to improve the admissions of Eastlake children to local schools, including Montlake, Stevens, John Stanford, and TOPS-Seward, and contributed to their greatly improved access in policies that the School Board adopted on June 17.

Retail district -- ECC is working to strengthen the neighborhood's retail district, and invites volunteers from within the business community to work with it on various projects toward that end. 

Eastlake Neighborhood Plan -- The Eastlake Neighborhood Plan, which ECC helped produce in partnership with the City and with other local organizations, has led to many of the above improvements, and others still to come.

Public meetings -- ECC's public meetings include presentations about such topics as proposed building and transportation projects, crime prevention, disaster preparedness, neighborhood history, state and local ballot measures, and talks by candidates and elected officials.
