FOLLOWUP: Next step in Seattle Public Utilities’ operations-center project on West Marginal Way SW

| Utilities | West Seattle news

(South Operations Center rendering, from city website)

We most recently reported back in July on Seattle Public Utilities‘ plan to turn the bus yard at 4500 West Marginal Way SW [map] into its Drainage and Wastewater South Operations Center.

Today’s city-circulated Land Use Information Bulletin includes official notice of the city’s land-use-permit application for the project. That opens a comment period through November 6th – here’s how to comment.

If you have questions about the project, or just want to see/hear more about it, you’ll want to be at Wednesday night’s Highland Park Action Committee meeting – 7 pm at Highland Park Improvement Club (1116 SW Holden) – because SPU is on the agenda with a presentation about it.

What will the view of the structure look like from West Marginal? Nice looking drawing but will most of us be looking at chainlink? Are trees and landscaping planned along the right of way/Duwamish Trail?

I’d also like to know what safety improvements are being considered for the trail as mentioned in the earlier article.

The HPAC agenda item for tomorrow is the first public presentation on this in West Seattle that I know of – I’ve been watching it appear and reappear for a couple years now but this time seems to be real – we’ll be there but of course that’s never any substitute for seeing/hearing it firsthand if you can. – TR

Sorry, comment time is over.
