Thanks to Chris for the tip (via this comment). SDOT has spot-repaving plans for California SW north of Admiral Way. No-parking signs are already up for the blocks just south of Hamilton Viewpoint Park. Here’s how SDOT spokesperson Mariam Ali summarizes the plan: “Crews will be performing spot mill and overlays on California Ave SW/California Way SW between SW Admiral Way and Ferry Ave SW for the next 4-8 weeks. We will not be resurfacing the entire stretch, but will be addressing portions of several blocks. The first project is tentatively scheduled to start next week. There will be lane closures and traffic shifts.” (Here’s what “milling” a road refers to.)

    Seems like this could have also been done on Fauntleroy during the closure.  I know the rework plan was put on hold but the street is in horrible condition and couple block “mill and overlay” could have helped while the long term plan was determined.  That street is going to get creamed once the bridge reopens.

    Would be nice to get the hill patched up. That’s a fairly high speed route to take on a bike and it’s rough in spots.

    ^^ no doubt, it’s baffling they didn’t fix Fauntleroy in the 900 or so days the bridge has been closed. There are many 5″-6″ gaps in this road, it’s so so bad..(and dangerous)..but hey, our property here went up 18% this last year lol

      Um, er … I thought this article was about California Ave/California Way. No mention of Fauntleroy, except the commenters.

        General comments about road construction & hazards in West Seattle. Might open your field of view.

    Why are contractors getting away with shoddy temporary asphalt patches. A good example is one midway along Alki that’s a motorcycle hazard in the dark. I have to slow my car down even more to go over it.

Sorry, comment time is over.
