Don’t know what’s going on with SDOT these days, but that traffic set-up on high rise (in picture) is down right dangerous if not illegal. They’re supposed to take lane and have proper taper when accessing inside of bridge. Also noticed SDOT workers working at junction last Saturday at Edmonds & California with ADA and curb install, half the workers weren’t wearing hard hats and saw one wearing baggy sweatpants ?

Those aren’t sdot workers, it is the contractor who repaired the bridge doing required inspections. Why do their clothes matter?

  SDOT or Contractor doesn’t matter, 1st any work on Highrise goes through SDOT, and traffic set-up is bad and unsafe. 2nd There are requirements of workers working at SDOT and most other employers regulated by multiple factions. Hard hats, proper clothing, footwear along with other safety gear like eye protection and work procedures to be followed for safety of workers and others in area. Much of this used to common sense which has been lost it seems;)
