Mostly from the WSB West Seattle Event Calendar, here’s what’s happening on your Saturday:
TRAFFIC ALERTS: Here’s what SDOT has announced for all day today:
-We’ll be working in south Delridge at 16th Ave SW and SW Cambridge St to update curb bulbs and curb ramps. We’ll maintain one driving lane of traffic in each direction.
-We’ll be replacing concrete panels as part of necessary maintenance work on 16th Ave SW and SW Myrtle St. We’ll maintain one lane of traffic in each direction.
-To improve visibility due to overgrown landscaping, we’ll be on SW Roxbury St at Olson Place SW to clean the median islands located at the intersection. We will close a driving lane in both directions on either side of the median, so people driving can expect delays.
-We’re paving 8th Ave S from S Kenyon St to S Portland St in South Park. We will restrict parking and maintain one driving lane of traffic in each direction.
-Our traffic signal crews will be replacing overhead signs and complete signal wiring activities on 14th Ave S and S Cloverdale St. The work is anticipated to begin as early as 7 AM and conclude by 3 PM. The signal will be out for a while, so a uniformed police officer will direct traffic. Otherwise, we anticipate minimal traffic impacts as a majority of the work will be completed from the sidewalk; however, please navigate the area with caution. A detour will be set up for people using the sidewalk.
WSDOT also has more “Revive I-5” lane closures on southbound I-5 between I-90 and the West Seattle exit, all weekend.
