FOLLOWUP: Road closure begins for drainage project at east end of Sylvan Way

We’ve been watching for the “mid-September” start of the road closure for resumption of a drainage project along Sylvan Way just west of Delridge Way [map], and just found crews setting out cones, barricades, and signs a short time ago. Seattle Public Utilities announced three weeks ago that the project would resume after three years on hold. Here’s the official construction notice for the work, expected to continue through the end of the year.

    I don’t live there any more but surprising there’s zero sidewalk as part of the rendering.  There was a bus stop right there last I knew.  Maybe one of the worst bus stops in the city for accessibility/comfort.  I realize it’s not never going to be a great pedestrian area but there should be a minimal sidewalk even if the AM/PM property has fenced off everything to the curb.

      100% yes to all of this. Some of the worst pedestrian safety areas in West Seattle, this entire corridor. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
