Thanks to Ian for the photo. The downed crosswalk-signal pole on the northeast corner of 35th/Avalon is apparently still down, according to a text. Reader Ab told us it happened on Friday – a semi-truck “cut the turn too much and knocked down” the pole. We’re hopeful it’s been reported to SDOT by now but don’t know the repair timeline; 206-386-1218 is their after-hours number for problems on streets, sidewalks, etc.
I walk and use transit a lot and I own a car however don’t use it much. While waiting at such busy corners for the light I always make it a point to stand about 4 feet back while waiting for the light to change. Be safe out there and stay vigilant.
I reported this to the city at https://seattle-cwiprod.motorolasolutions.com/cwi/select. Reference number is 23-00319370. The caution tape showed up on Saturday so someone must know about it.
Sorry, comment time is over.
