    Star gas station at 35th Ave SW & SW Hudson:   Gas pump area is yellow-taped-off and the Market (store) looked dark when I drove past at 11:15am Tues morning.  Q: has this business closed?

      Do you mean Space Age at 35th/Holden?

    Not sure if it’s news worthy but it looks like the intersection of Charlestown and 45th a block south of Madison Middle school is getting long overdue curb cuts based on some concrete cutting I noticed this morning. I hope SDOT does the right thing and makes it a 4-way stop, also.

      Thanks. I asked SDOT days ago for a copy of the notice apparently sent to people in the area. Pinging them again.

Sorry, comment time is over.
