On Monday October 20, I attended the Georgetown Community Council meeting, where a representative from the Seattle Department of Transportation reviewed upcoming improvement projects in Georgetown. Attendee questions primarily focused on how construction disruptions could affect neighborhood traffic flow, and how the department planned to address safety concerns about the truck traffic that flows along East Marginal Way S.

The projects are intended to:

separate vehicle types to protect pedestrians from conflicts with faster-moving vehicles;
create better accessibility for people with different abilities; and
slow vehicle turning movement.

SDOT is through the planning and design phases but the projects are currently under review, so now is the time to weigh in with any questions or concerns. Email EMarginalPavingAndSafety@seattle.gov, or call at (206) 775-8719.
