    Everyone should go down to see the fine improvements that SDOT finished on the Alki Healthy Street today. I don’t recommend driving though ;).

      Can you kindly hint? We tend not to get advance notice of these things and I’m on the opposite end of the peninsula so a photo trip to Alki tends to take an hour round trip, but if I know what I’m looking for, I’ll go …TR

        They extended the barricades blocking off the bike/ped path Along Alki Ave SW all the way to 63rd and appear to have finished the intersection improvements.

          Thank you. Will put it on my list for tomorrow.
