15 Jun Alaskan Way Viaduct + Seawall Neighborhood Meeting

Here’s an email from WSDOT/SDOT:

Join us on June 17 to discuss replacing the Alaskan Way Viaduct and Seawall

On the third Thursday of each month, WSDOT and SDOT, in cooperation with the Pioneer Square Community Association, host a public meeting to discuss plans to replace the seismically vulnerable Alaskan Way Viaduct and seawall. The purpose of these meetings is to provide information, and give neighbors an opportunity to comment and ask questions about how viaduct replacement will affect the Pioneer Square neighborhood.

This month’s meeting is at noon on Thursday, June 17 at the Klondike Gold Rush Museum (319 Second Ave. S.). Meeting topics include:

• Construction update: Find out the latest about construction beginning this summer to replace the southern mile of the viaduct.
• Seawall replacement overview: SDOT and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are beginning the environmental review to replace the Elliott Bay seawall. SDOT Project Manager Stephanie Brown will give a project overview and answer questions about how it will affect the neighborhood.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Also, if you haven’t already, please take a moment to fill out our neighborhood survey. Survey results will be used to help us keep neighbors informed during construction.

Thanks, and we hope to see you on Thursday.
