TRAFFIC ALERTS: Sinkhole on West Marginal Way SW

3:36 PM: Police and SDOT are checking out what’s reported as a sinkhole near the west end of West Marginal Way SW, just east of the north end of Delridge. It’s reported to be about two feet wide by two feet deep, and an officer told dispatch they were marking it with a cone for starters – but because of the hole’s depth, that first cone wasn’t fully visible. So beware for now if you’re headed that way.

6:09 PM: No updates on that but there’s apparently another one – a texter reports one at 35th SW and SW Myrtle (and we’ve just heard SPD dispatched to check it out).

    One cone?  Let’s not be silly.  How about four or so with lights?

      That’s why they dispatched SDOT. The first officer on scene had a parking-enforcement call sign; doubt they carry a full load of cones and signs.
