WEATHER, TRANSIT, TRAFFIC: Post-holiday Tuesday morning watch

6:07 AM: Good morning. Still melting – with a showery forecast today, high in the 40s – and still some snow out there. Shouldn’t be as slushy as Monday’s roads, though – Eric Bell shared this view:

TRANSIT: Metro is back on regular routes. … The Water Taxi is back in service (added: Doc Maynard returns to the run Wednesday) … The Fauntleroy-Vashon-Southworth ferry route is back to 2-boat service.

BRIDGES AND DETOUR ROUTES: 330th morning without the West Seattle Bridge. Here’s how things are looking:

Low Bridge: Sixth week for automated enforcement cameras, while restrictions are in effect 5 am-9 pm daily. Here’s a bridge view:

West Marginal Way at Highland Park Way:

Highland Park Way/Holden – with a new left-turn signal for northbound HP Way, turning to westbound Holden:

The 5-way intersection (Spokane/West Marginal/Delridge/Chelan):

The 1st Avenue South Bridge (map):

For the South Park Bridge (map), here’s the nearest camera:

    Recycle truck back at work-picking up recycle at 7:15am this morning (heading north on 37th SW & Hanford).

    Has the city released any numbers with regards to tickets sent thus far for low bridge violators? I’m so curious how many people are still taking that route.

      Not so far except to say traffic has dropped by about a quarter of the pre-cameras volume.

    The city did a great job in plowing Fauntleroy and California this weekend.    Let’s give them kudos when it’s deserved; not that’s it’s hard to plow a few miles of roads but it’s sure nice when they do. And a few LOL’s to those who were so snow savvy to pull out their windshield wipers but still parked on a main road so they got “plowed in”.     Seattle in the snow…. always some good moments for those who aren’t used to it.  

Sorry, comment time is over.
