SDOT proposes changes to 7th Ave NW and NW 100th Street

Many of you have received a postcard in the mail announcing proposed changes to 7th Ave NW and NW 100th Street near the QFC Shopping Center. These changes are proposed to facilitate the new routing of the Rapid Ride Line “D” which we covered earlier.

The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) is proposing changes to 7th Avenue NW (between NW 100th Street and NW Holman Rd). The proposed changes include the following:

  • Convert 7th Ave NW to one-way northbound between NW 100th Street and NW Holman Road
  • Install curb, gutter and sidewalk on west side of 7th Avenue NW
  • Install curb, gutter and sidewalk on south side of NW 100th Street (between NW 100th Place and 7th Ave NW)
  • No parking on west side of 7th Avenue NW and south side of NW 100th Street

proposed

The proposed improvements are designed to support King County Metro’s Ballard RapidRide service which is scheduled to begin in fall 2012. Converting 7th Avenue NW to one-way will improve access to the RapidRide terminal.

Your comments on the proposed revisions would be appreciated.

Robbery on Holman Road, March 28th, 2011

Approximately 4 AM Monday Morning, March 28th 2011, the owner of the Thirsty Fish at 9041 Holman Road was beaten and robbed.  Details of the incident are available at the MyBallard site.  The robbers got away with a bag of money, his wedding ring, and wallet.

In light of this incident and the earlier robbery at Whitman Middle School, I’m taking this opportunity to remind every one to:

  • be extra attentive to your surroundings
  • not be distracted by electronic gadgetry such as phones, music players, etc. while in public situations
  • be alert to suspicious activity in the area and to report the activity using 911
  • vary your routines to thwart those who may be casing you or your property
  • walk in well lighted areas
  • walk with a friend or partner rather than alone
  • report any relevant information to the police

Armed Robbery at Whitman Middle School, March 3rd, 2011

On March 3rd, a woman waiting in her car for her kids to be finished with basketball practice, was accosted by a lone man with a gun who robbed her of cash, then fled across the play field when she activated her car alarm. Police searched the area but did not locate the robber. On March 8th, the Seattle Police Department apprehended a suspect in the case and a string of other armed robberies. The suspect is being held at King County Jail on $100,000 bail until Friday March 11th, the deadline for the Prosecutor to file charges.

Extra caution is advised even though a suspect is in custody.  In the other incidents, there were additional robbers. Always good to be aware of your surroundings in public areas, rather than absorbed in electronic devices. It is also a good idea to not be alone.

Below are links to stories from news sources and the SPD about the robbery and suspect apprehension:
