Early warning

High Point-to-Delridge drivers, beware: Cindi from the Morgan Community Association alerts us to more upcoming traffic woes; this excerpt is from the latest Morgan Junction e-mail newsletter, quoting the major construction company on the High Point project:

“SW Morgan / Sylvan Way will most likely be closed for a short period (one to two weeks) during late February/early March. This closure is being planned in conjunction with work taking place on an unrelated development east of High Point. This coordination will minimize the impacts to the neighbors and surrounding area. SW Morgan / Sylvan Way will then be temporarily closed for a longer period (several months) this summer to allow for complete rebuild of the roadway and utilities associated with our project. We will provide notification to local residents and businesses and will have a detour route well-indicated. Every effort will be made to minimize the duration of street closures.”

We’ve been asked before about the deplorable condition of Sylvan Way closer to Delridge; Cindi is checking on whether repairs to that stretch might be included in those summer closures.

Gosh, that would be nice. That’s my main route from Highland Park to the Junction and my suspension HATES it. I’ll put up with (yet another) closure if it means that part of the road gets smoothened out, with especial attention to the plethora of new manholes along that stretch.

What about temporary pavement don’t people understand? That whole area is under construction, there are more utilities to be buried there so why would they put in a finished grade until they are done. When remodeling your house do you put in the hardwood flooring first? I think they’ve done a pretty good job keeping it open during construction.

I think we all know that the mess on Sylvan Way is necessary and temporary-but when the ruts and potholes etc. become dangerous and damaging-a temporary fix is not too much to ask for.If there was a rotten piece of wood in my floor-I’d patch that up so I wouldn’t trip while remodeling!

Sorry, comment time is over.
