One of the dormant SDOT projects in West Seattle is about to start up again. Just out of the WSB inbox:

Crews plan to begin striping the intersection of Harbor Ave SW and SW Spokane St tomorrow, Friday, October 5. This work must be completed in dry weather conditions and may be postponed to Monday, October 8. Striping will take approximately 2 days to complete.

Due to a manufacturing delay, crews are unable to activate the bike signal until late October. Initially crews hoped to activate the signal and complete road striping at the same time. However, striping cannot be completed in the rainy months, so it may occur before the bike signal can be activated. Later this month, crews will also install fencing along the bike path and complete plantings.

Traffic impacts during striping and signal activation:

*Westbound SW Spokane St will be reduced to one lane of traffic at Harbor Ave SW, except during peak hours (3 PM to 7 PM, Monday through Friday), when it will remain fully open

*2 uniformed police officers will be direct traffic at the intersection of Harbor Ave SW from SW Spokane St during work hours

*Sidewalks will be maintained for people walking and biking

This project (here’s its official website) started almost four months ago and was initially described as likely to last about six weeks.
