TRAFFIC/TRANSIT TODAY: Wednesday notes

(Live view from the east-facing WS Bridge camera; other cameras are on the WSB Traffic page)
Welcome to a brand-new month. For those who work in or travel to/through downtown, here’s the SPD update on a rally and march planned in the p.m. SDOT has also published info on the march, which starts in the Central District.

8:05 AM: Commenter RT mentioned the crash at East Marginal and Hanford, northeast of the low bridge (map). KING 5 reports that the bicyclist involved in that crash has died. No other details yet, but the scene will subsequently be closed for hours of investigation.

8:11 AM: According to Seattle Police, the victim is an “adult male.” We will be starting a separate story about the crash.

There was a cyclist hit at E. Marginal and S. Hanford this morning at about 7:15.

Traffic in both directions was stopped while first responders were trying to resuscitate the injured.

Thank you, RT. We’re covering that separately now since it is the route so many West Seattle riders take between here and downtown:
