UTILITY WORK ALERT

Harbor Avenue has extensive no-parking signage for City Light work today and tomorrow. (We’re checking with SCL to see what the work’s about.)

TRANSIT

Metro – Regular schedule, but trip cancellations are still happening, so watch for alerts (if you’re not signed up to get them, check channels like this).

Water Taxi – Now on the spring/summer schedule, which means this is the second week of added Friday/Saturday night runs.

Washington State Ferries‘ Triangle Route continues on the 2-boat schedule but with the chance of sailing cancellations, so check here for alerts/updates and see Vessel Watch for boats’ locations.

    I witnessed a parking patrol person  ticketing cars yesterday that were parked LEGALLY, according to the sharpie-written dates and times (no parking, 4.28&29, 7 AM – 5 PM.)  This was at 5:36 PM.  If your car was ticketed while parked in this area, you should have a good case for dismissal if you take it to hearing.  I thought about stopping and confronting the person entering ticket data into their hand-held computer, but I was having a medical issue and just wanted to get home.

Sorry, comment time is over.
