TRAFFIC/TRANSIT TODAY: Monday on the move

(Click any view for a close-up; more cameras on the WSB Traffic page)

6:03 AM: Good morning! We start with an alert for sometime today, at 15th and Holden in Highland Park:

Traffic on SW Holden Street near the intersection of 15th Avenue SW and SW Holden Street may be impacted for up to an hour on Monday, Feb. 22, while the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) conducts electrical work to activate the newly installed pedestrian crossing signals at the intersection. Seattle Police will be present at the work zone to maintain two-way traffic during this work, which will take place between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Pedestrian and bicycle access will remain open.

As the full alert on the city website notes, this is part of the Delridge-Highland Park Neighborhood Greenway project. Its website also notes work starting this week on a stairway along the route, and includes progress reports and photos from other spots.

WATER TAXI FYI: If you’re interested in previewing this year’s spring/summer schedule, which takes effect in early April, it’s now posted on the Water Taxi website.

3 traffic lights in less than 300 feet. Can’t wait for this improvement to my already obnoxious commute through Highland Park.

What is needed to make driving in the area less “obnoxious” is for people to slow down and for SDOT to install a left turn signal at 16th and Holden, a new light at 9th and Highland Park Way and treat all adjacent non arterials with speed bumps and stop signs to discourage cut through traffic.

Sorry, comment time is over.
