TRAFFIC/TRANSIT TODAY: Monday alerts and updates; West Seattle Bridge ‘action plan’ meeting tonight

(Four WS-relevant views; more cams on the WSB Traffic page)
7:15 AM: Launching Monday’s traffic watch: So far, the routes through and from West Seattle are incident-free.

7:38 AM: Crash reported at 35th/Willow. No word yet how it’s affecting traffic. Engine 37 is on the scene.

7:44 AM: Reminder that TONIGHT is your chance to come talk about the West Seattle Bridge-Duwamish Waterway Corridor Action Plan, 6:30 pm at the Sisson Building (California/Oregon, best known as the home of the Senior Center of West Seattle). The plan, first reported here one month ago, includes 27 possibilities, big and small, for attempting to ease traffic in the area. Councilmember Tom Rasmussen, who announced the meeting three weeks ago, is hosting and says SDOT will review the plan’s recommendations. What do YOU think the bridge and “corridor” need? Come talk about it tonight.

8:34 AM: Now a crash is reported at Delridge and Andover. And three SFD units are responding to a reported natural-gas leak at the Arbor Heights Elementary construction site at 3701 SW 104th.

8:49 AM: The SFD call for Delridge/Andover has closed.

9:53 AM: Just drove back from downtown after covering court hearings. Northbound 99/Viaduct still sluggish.

On the 55. Viaduct traffic NB at a crawl. Can see back up well south of ramp from WSB.

Thanks for the update. No incidents on the 911 log but stalled vehicles, for example, won’t always turn up there.

As I have been commenting, it seems that the slower, bottlenecking type of traffic is occurring earlier and earlier. I regularly ride the 6:55am #57 and by 7:00am the WS Bridge is clogged and 99 is slow, for no other reason than a lot of people and poor pacing (gas and brake driving).

Sorry, comment time is over.
