-The West Seattle Water Taxi is on its regular schedule.

Today and Wednesday (January 24-25), expect intermittent lane closures on the South Park Bridge, 8 am-3 pm each day, for crews who will be power-washing the bridge sidewalks.

    Pole replacement at California and Charlestown, no turns onto Charlestown east or west.

    The pole they replaced had deep a splinter crack for years. It was held together with a metal collar. Glad it finally got replaced. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
