Staircase shutdown extended a month

thistlestairs.jpg

A new city notice is posted at the half-century-old Thistle Street staircase (shown above) that leads down to Lincoln Park from Northrop in Upper Fauntleroy: Seattle DOT now plans to keep it closed for 4 to 6 weeks of “stairway restoration.” It had been closed a week already because of the work to fill the Thistle/Northrop sinkhole/gully that opened during last December’s storm.

    Walked by here yesterday and noticed that the sidewalk has been repaired. the connection between the sidewalk and the top of the stairs is still obviously under construction, though that doesn’t seem to be stopping people from using the staircase.
