FOLLOWUP: Alki Pump Station 38 work finally really about to start, city says

When Seattle Public Utilities announced in May that upgrade work was about to start on Pump Station 38 in the 1400 block of Alki Avenue SW, one key thing was missing – final permit approval. Today they’ve sent notice that the approvals are finally in and work will start “as soon as” Monday, July 18th. As reported previously (and shown in the rendering above), the overhauled pump-station site will include an art installation. The $2 million project will be built by Harbor Pacific Contractors, Inc. of Woodinville; construction is expected to last up to nine months.

    If this doesn’t include improvements that make that terrible smelling air somehow less noticeable, it’s a missed opportunity. It feels like some sort of barrier, planter boxes, something could be used so that walking past it isn’t as bad as it is now. I get we need this system, I’m just stunned that park goers and home owners have to deal with that smell that never seems to end. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
