More from Jodi:
Today, “no parking” signs are being put on both sides of the street in preparation for the sidewalk construction work to start next week. SDOT expects that the project will take about three weeks to complete. Next week, they will start working on the sidewalk on the north side of the street (which is what you will see on the plans), but there is also a plan to complete a small stretch of sidewalk on the south side of the street between the existing church sidewalk and 5th Ave. NE. They are working through some final issues regarding new drainage regulations before the plan for that side can be finalized, but I will let you know more when I have more information.
Also, according to Shauna Walgren (Shauna.Walgren@Seattle.Gov), the project manager at Seattle Department of Transportation who is working on the project, they are going to try to put a tree wherever it will fit in the new planting strips. Property owners who will have a planting strip in front of their homes are encouraged to let Shauna know if they have a preference for a certain type of tree.
