ROAD-WORK ALERT: Next 3 days on Beach Drive SW

ORIGINAL SUNDAY REPORT, 8:10 PM: No details or advance alert (any neighbors get one?) about this, but we’re writing about it as a precaution, given what happened with the no-notice pavement repairs on 35th SW last week: While out this evening, we noticed “no parking” signs along a stretch of Beach Drive SW just south of 61st SW [map]. This is the bumpy area that SDOT confirmed in January would be repaved “this summer.” The signs we saw tonight were placed on behalf of SDOT’s paving division, and are dated for 7 am tomorrow (October 3rd) through 5 pm Wednesday (October 5th). We’ll seek the details tomorrow morning.

ADDED MONDAY: After our inquiry to the SDOT communication team this morning, they published this, confirming it’s the long-awaited paving project.

Right where I live and not a peep from the clowns at SDOT. Have had it with them in so many ways.

I saw those same signs you mentioned regarding the paving. I noticed the paving hadn’t occurred yet so I took them to be a form of a precaution. I knew what they were referring to because they explained the paving would be done this summer, I just figured they were running a little late. I really wanted a singing telegram but I don’t think the budget allows for that.
