    Is there an expected completion date for the work at West Marginal Way/Highland Park intersection? Seems like I recall Sept being mentioned, but not an exact date. I’m hoping this is the last weekend.

    Happy to see there are now two lanes open northbound on W Marginal Way through the Highland Park Way intersection!

Sorry, comment time is over.
