Thanks to Chas Redmond for forwarding the city e-mail that’s apparently gone out to all 120-plus people who signed in at Monday night’s open house about the Fauntleroy “rechannelization” proposal (to be done during next year’s repaving). The e-mail, which is officially from SDOT’s Peter Lagerwey via walkandbike@seattle.gov – the address to use, as we’ve mentioned, for feedback – promises answers next week to questions raised at the event (WSB coverage here):
We heard support for re-paving the street, reducing speeds, improving pedestrian crossings and installing new bicycle facilities. We also heard concerns about possible congestion, diversion of traffic and lack of enforcement. As soon as we compile comments, we will respond to questions in writing to the group. We will have this work completed by the end of next week, December 12.
All comments will be taken into account as we move forward on a lane configuration decision by the end of the year. We will provide an update once a decision has been made.
The project website mentioned on Monday night handouts still isn’t up; we’ll check today on a timeline for that. As mentioned that night, the timeline for the “rechannelization” would be during the May-October 2009 period set for the repaving. 2:07 PM UPDATE: As Allie points out in comments, the webpage is now live, with some basics about the repaving project but not much on the “rechannelization” proposal; there’s also a spot to subscribe to e-mail bulletins about SDOT paving projects.
