TRAFFIC/TRANSIT TODAY: Monday updates; road-work reminders

(Four WS-relevant views; more cams on the WSB Traffic page)
Good morning and welcome to the first weekday in March. No trouble spots reported so far but we do have road-work reminders for projects that were previously announced as starting today (we’ll be checking later):

-Delridge/Andover/23rd safety improvements – details here
-15th/Roxbury lane closures for fiber installation – details here
-Lane closure at Fauntleroy dock for Barton Pump Station Upgrade next door – details here

METRO FARE CHANGES NOW IN EFFECT: Sunday was the first day of the new fares for Metro – a 25-cent increase in regular fares, and the availability of the new ORCA LIFT reduced fare for those who qualify.

8:28 AM: Still uneventful. One “in case you missed it” link – our full report from the West Seattle Transportation Coalition meeting is up, with details including the new SDOT transit-division director Paulo Nunes-Ueno‘s conversation with WSTC, and other updates. Read it here.

From the linked article: “Once the work gets under way, the first three weeks will be focused on the Delridge/Andover intersection, including some pedestrian detours”
there are actually vehicle detours. The police have eastbound Andover blocked at this intersection. Some people seem to be very confused (and warned too late, to their credit) to access Pigeon Point another way.
e.ta.- looks like they are done with that portion for today? At least the traffic cones, sign, and angry police officer are elsewhere right now.
