EAST MARGINAL PROJECT ZONE CHANGES
One more reminder – as announced by SDOT:
Starting this week, people biking and walking are routed onto the new curb-separated asphalt path on the west side of E Marginal Way S between S Spokane St and S Horton St. At S Horton St, people biking and walking will shift back to a temporary, vehicle-separated shared-use path in the center of E Marginal Way S.
At approximately S Holgate Street:
Northbound travelers are routed back to the existing sidewalk on the west side of the street
Southbound travelers are routed back to the existing bike lane on the west side of the street
