Washington State Ferries today – 2-boat service on the Triangle Route with M/V Sealth as the “ghost boat.” Check here for last-minute changes.

ROAD WORK

*For up to three days, potentially starting today, King County crews will be doing roadway work near the 1st Avenue South Bridge – on the West Seattle side – to get ready for building a sewer-overflow-control project, as announced here.

*The Admiral Way Bridge seismic project continues; the south half of the bridge is closed, with one lane each way on the north side. Fairmount Avenue remains closed beneath the bridge.

*The Delridge pedestrian-bridge earthquake-safety project also continues, with narrowing at Delridge/Oregon.

WSB, have you heard anything recently on the proposal options for reducing Highland Park Way to one lane going downhill? Last I recall seeing anything was the vote on the different options, but don’t recall hearing the result of that vote or next steps

WSB December 2, 2024 (5:13 pm)

The project that seemed like another way of looking at it, “bike lane on HP Way,” remained in the Transportation Levy as passed by voters, but I’ll have to check if that officially sealed the deal.

Sorry, comment time is over.
