SDOT just announced they'll be completing the final block of the Beach Drive SW Healthy Street on Alki Point, finally connecting the multiuse path to 63rd Ave SW. This block was not included in the original project, installed in 2024.

Work will start before the end of the year.

Good reminder to take a moment to clear storm drains near you of fallen leaves if you're able.
A wind came.

It blew across the land.

Happy Halloween! With trick-or-treating and dozens of neighborhood streets closed for Trick-Or-Streets events, we need drivers to focus. Please:

Slow it way down. Be sober. Put the phone away. Expect kids in the street.

Your attention is the best treat you can give tonight.

Labu-BOO! Remember that the scariest thing on the road tonight should be a child dressed as a pop culture reference you’re too old to understand.

Be extra cautious driving today, and keep an eye out for trick-or-treaters. Happy Halloween!

Visited Westlake and Denny this evening to watch rush hour traffic. Looking good for transit riders here. Most drivers are obeying the right turn restrictions here.

Thanks @seattledot.bsky.social
