(2024 WSF concept for Fauntleroy Way signalized intersection)
Heads up for more road work to get ready for this fall’s project to add a signal where Fauntleroy Way SW intersects with the ferry dock, in advance of the dock replacement/expansion later this decade. Two weeks ago, crews did drilling at the site; next week, they’ll do “potholing,” explained as “using specialized equipment to create small holes in the ground to verify the location, depth and condition of underground utilities.” The work is set for Tuesday and Wednesday, July 8 and 9, 9 am-7 pm. Here’s the official notice. Questions? There’s a construction hotline, 206-402-8070. The announcement was circulated along with news of a date for the terminal project’s final Community Advisory Group meeting, now set for 6 pm August 6, online. The public will be welcome to attend; watch this page for a registration link later this summer.
9:23 AM: Two notes: Damaged, abandoned car reported blocking the road in 1500 block of Alki SW … texter reports “loose bucket in the roadway on eastbound West Seattle Bridge” …
