West Seattle roads: Delridge/Croft improvements in progress

| Delridge | Safety | Transportation | West Seattle news

Thanks to Mike for sharing that photo of the work that’s under way by the bus stop on the northbound side of Delridge at Croft (map). It’s a multi-component project from the city’s Neighborhood Projects Fund, according to SDOT spokesperson Marybeth Turner:

SDOT paving crews are working on a neighborhood improvement project at Delridge Way and Croft Place SW. They installed a curb ramp and paved an area within a driveway. They also paved a bus pad. They will install a new traffic island (median) on one side of the intersection to assist pedestrians crossing Delridge. The crew chief expects the work to be completed sometime next week.

This project was proposed by the neighborhood and then was moved forward by the Delridge Neighborhood District Council. Just another example of what can happen when citizens become involved in mnaking things better for their neighborhood.

cool-

True, that is an example of citizens being involved, though there are also examples of citizens being involved and passed over in favor of other projects.

and on that note, as school starts soon and the mornings are darker, Drivers: please keep your eye on the road, and watch for children walking to Sanislo elem… walking in the street, not on a sidewalk that isn’t there.

Sorry, comment time is over.
