Just in from SDOT – an update on the Delridge Way repaving/utilities/more project – NO full Delridge closure starting tomorrow after all:

Weekend street closure cancelled between SW Henderson St and SW Cambridge St. Upgrades are now scheduled for the weekdays.

At this location, we have changed the full closure on Delridge Way SW to a northbound lane closure only. We have updated our construction plans and will now maintain southbound access on Delridge Way SW during street upgrades. These upgrades will begin as early as Monday, August 2.

People traveling north along Delridge Way SW will detour to 16th Ave SW or 18th Ave SW while this work takes place. Please view the detour map for details. This detour will be in effect for approximately 2-3 days.

Thank you to the businesses and residents in the area for working with us and providing feedback while we planned this work. We appreciate your continued patience during construction.

When is there going to be parking on the street on Delridge again?

Regrettably, much will be restored at the end of the project, so that people can once again store their private automobiles on public streets, while cyclists are forced directly into automobile traffic where they must defend their lives. Given the choice between using public land for subsidized storage for private automobiles and saving cyclists lives, the supposedly “liberal” city of Seattle will nearly always side with harming cyclists and protecting free parking.
