Yet another transportation project of note is in the wings for West Seattle – the Admiral Way Bridge (really two bridges) earthquake-strengthening project. When the Admiral Neighborhood Association has its next gathering this Tuesday (7 pm May 14), an SDOT rep will be there to talk – and answer questions – about it. ANA’s preview of the gathering also notes, “You will also hear updates from the team leaders of our upcoming events and ways in which you can volunteer … AND you’ll also witness the unveiling of the next chapter of a Summer favorite.” This is an in-person event at Admiral Church (4320 SW Hill), all welcome.

Very interesting as I’ve never noticed before that it’s actually two side by side bridges. Is there a load limit on these bridges as they don’t look very strong to this non-engineer.

This earth quake retrofit is needed, but after listening to the SDoT I sense the traffic and pedestrian/bike mitigation is lacking. In particular, they are planning on closing Fairmont to pedestrians and bikes for up to nine months. This is a heavily used ped/bike corridor and provides access to the Water Taxi. Additionally no mention of mitigation to reduce cut through traffic on residential streets.

Sorry, comment time is over.
