Alaskan Way Safety Project

*Construction on the Alaskan Way Safety project begins on Monday, December 2! *Read more about the start of project construction on our blog [ https://sdotblog.seattle.gov/2024/12/20/alaskan-way-safety-project-construction-begins/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ].

*Please be aware that parking is restricted 24/7 on both sides of Alaskan Way between Broad St and Lenora St. Restrictions are set to be in place through construction and may be removed in some locations as activities are completed.* 

Over the next few weeks, you’ll see the following construction activities in the project area:  

*Lenora St to Blanchard St*


* Paving concrete curbs for the protected bike lane on the west side of Alaskan Way

*Blanchard St*


* Excavation for electrical conduit installation across Alaskan Way and at street corners

*Bell St to Blanchard St*


* Paving new roadway panels on east side of Alaskan Way
* Bollard installation on west side of Alaskan Way

*Wall St*


* Pavement demolition to install electrical conduits across Alaskan Way and at street corners

*Wall St to Blanchard St*


* Pavement restoration for electrical crossings at Wall St and Blanchard St
* Spot sidewalk removal and replacement

*Clay St to Vine St*


* Continue storm drain installation

*What to expect during construction*

Typical work hours are Monday – Friday, from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. During this time you can expect: 


* Temporary traffic revisions to accommodate construction activities
* Temporary parking restrictions near work zones
* Noisy construction activities, such as backup alarms for safety, heavy vehicle and truck use, and the use of large equipment
* Steel plates in the roadway
* Please note that much of this work is weather-dependent and subject to schedule changes

*Construction survey for businesses*

Please fill out this construction survey [ https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=RR7meOtrCUCPmTWdi1T0GyW3J8SzJq1NmcJ3m9wFLgBUM05UMTBZTzM3WFhHRExWV1JXRkpCREJSRi4u&origin=lprLink&route=shorturl&utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ] so we can keep you informed and minimize impacts to your business during construction. You may also request a paper copy by leaving us a voicemail at (206) 775-8894 or emailing us at AlaskanWaySafety@seattle.gov.

*Here's a summary of the changes we'll be making:*


* *A continuous 0.6-mile street-level protected bike lane on the west side of Alaskan Way between Virginia St and Broad St.* A continuous west side protected bike lane provides a more intuitive connection for people biking by minimizing the crossings included in the original concept.
* *An east side, two-way shared path from Blanchard St to Wall St will be installed for use on sailing days,* when the west side protected bike lane in front of Pier 66 is closed.
* *Street-level protected bike lane with removable bollards in front of Pier 66* (west side of Alaskan Way from Blanchard St to Wall St) on non-sailing days

* *Lane reductions in this section of Alaskan Way, going from two northbound and two southbound vehicle lanes to one lane in each direction.* This change is closely aligned with findings from SDOT’s Vision Zero Review [ https://www.seattle.gov/documents/Departments/SDOT/VisionZero/SDOT-Vision-Zero-TopToBottomReview-Overview.pdf?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ], which showed that reducing lanes on multi-lane arterial roads slows people speeding and makes it safer for pedestrians. The street will continue to support freight movement and the changing traffic patterns resulting from Waterfront activities.
* *Upgraded traffic signal at Blanchard St* (to full traffic signal for all directions at this intersection)
* *Intersection safety improvements* include adding Leading Pedestrian Intervals (LPI) [ https://www.seattle.gov/transportation/projects-and-programs/safety-first/vision-zero/leading-pedestrian-intervals?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ] to make people more visible to those driving, bike traffic signals, No Turn on Red [ https://sdotblog.seattle.gov/2023/05/04/new-right-turn-on-red-restrictions-increase-safety-at-downtown-intersections-i-vision-zero/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ] signs, shorter pedestrian crossing distance, and adding vehicle left turn lanes at select intersections. 
* *Sidewalk repair and updating ADA-compliant curb ramps* along the project corridor to improve access for people walking and rolling.
