TRAFFIC/TRANSIT TODAY: Thursday notes; advance alerts for Grand Parade & Float Dodger 5K on Saturday

(Four WS-relevant views; more cams on the WSB Traffic page)
Nothing out of the ordinary reported for this morning’s outbound commute. So we launch again with reminders about Saturday:

GRAND PARADE & FLOAT DODGER 5K ON SATURDAY: California SW will close from The Admiral District to The Junction for the West Seattle Grand Parade, preceded by the Float Dodger 5K, early morning until the end of the parade in early afternoon. By today, no-parking signs should be up on side streets that’ll be used for staging and for Metro rerouting (those reroutes are on the Metro website); parade organizers say Metro is making those changes earlier in the morning, so some no-parking signs will have times as early as 6 am Saturday.

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE 35TH SW PLAN? As reported here, SDOT has announced a two-phase plan for 35th SW, starting with rechannelization “within the next couple months” between Roxbury and Willow. Your first chance to ask questions following last night’s meeting is tonight’s second meeting – featuring the same presentation – 6 pm at Southwest Library (35th/Henderson).

    Thanks Sharonn, I wondered why it was so jammed up on and below the Spokane ST Viaduct.

      I haven’t had time the past two weeks to look for them. Hopefully things will be calming down soon.

    Let’s hope it calms down but I think it won’t. :>( Job security I guess…
    I’ll be patient and hope you have some spare time to look for some more of those great pics!:>)

Sorry, comment time is over.
