Seattle Transportation Public Input Wanted

The Seattle Citizens Transportation Advisory Committee III (CTAC III) is seeking public input. CTAC III was established by City Council Resolution 31240. The Mayor’s office appointed a 14 member committee this winter. The committee has been charged with setting priorities for the Seattle Dept of Transportation (SDOT) and recommending funding sources. They held 6 meetings in April and early May to consider the following issues: 1) Business/Freight; 2) Social Justice (South); 3) Neighborhood Interests; 4) Social Justice (North); 5) Environmental; 6) Public Health/Disabilities.  Now it’s your turn to provide input. CTAC III will conduct three public input workshops to gather general public opinion:

Holman Road Pavement Repair Next Week

Seattle Department of Transportation paving crews will work on Holman Road NW between Mary Avenue NW and 9th Avenue NW on Wednesday and Thursday, April 13 and 14, if weather is favorable. The crews plan to work from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day to grind off old pavement and lay new asphalt on a portion of the street. One north lane and two south lanes will remain open.

N/NW 85th St repaving project Oct 2011 to Fall 2012

One of Crown Hill’s major streets is scheduled for repaving. Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) will be repaving 85th Street from I5 to 15th Ave NW. This project has the potential to disrupt all modes of transportation on 85th and divert traffic to 80th and Holman Road as it avoids 85th. SDOT’s project information page currently lists the following:

The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) is planning to repave N/NW 85th Street beginning in October 2011 and continuing thorough fall 2012.

This paving project is funded by the “Bridging the Gap” transportation levy approved by Seattle voters in November 2006.

Project Location:

N/NW 85th Street – 15th Avenue NW to Interstate 5

Project Description:

This project will replace and rehabilitate the existing pavement along the N/NW 85th Street corridor from 15th Avenue NW to I-5 Freeway. Benefits include:

  • New concrete pavement in the most heavily travelled areas
  • New underground drainage infrastructure
  • Bus stop improvements including new shelters in some locations
  • Sidewalk repair and replacement
  • Green storm water facilities
  • New and upgraded curb ramps to meet current accessibility standards

Project Schedule:

The project will be phased so that all work will not occur simultaneously and to better manage traffic and disruptions. More detailed schedule information will be provided prior to the start of construction.
