From Art Brochet, the Capital Projects Coordinator for SDOT: Only two nights were required to finish grinding Sand Point Way NE north of NE 110th Street, instead of the 3 or 4 that we planned for, and there will be no detours the next few days (and nights). On Monday morning, June 17th however, the same southbound detour route just used will resume and be in effect continuously through approximately July 3rd. This should allow the work in this zone (#3) to be finished in under a month, as contractors can be more productive if they don’t need open and close the construction zone and move the construction equipment into place each day. The alternative – of alternatively stopping traffic in each direction in the daytime and having occasional detours – creates more uncertainty and often more delay for drivers. Metro also prefers having a predictable schedule. On NE 125th Street both curb ramp and road base repair work have begun in the north half of the roadway between Lake City Way NE and 35th Avenue NE. This work will move west until it reaches 23rd Avenue NE and then shift to the south half of NE 125th, again moving from east to west. Please exercise extreme caution throughout the entire construction area. There may be workers present and/or heavy equipment blocking lines of sight as well as pedestrians, bicyclists and other drivers trying to make their way with lots of potential distractions. Allow for travel extra time, be patient, and think how nice it will be when construction is finished. But please, please pay attention! The website has been updated and – as always – if you have any specific questions please contact Art Brochet, the Capital Projects Coordinator for SDOT. However, if you have problems needing resolution in the field please call Alex DeLeon at (206) 316-2542. Alex will be holding “office hours” at Kaffeeklatsch – 12513 Lake City Way on Wednesdays through the end of the month, between 4PM and 5PM, if you’d like to stop by for a little chat about the project.
There are many possible sources and a large part of the point of this study was to provide evidence of the problem and help them narrow it down so they can work on solutions. But it’s bad enough that they’re warning people to stay out of the water.
Victory Heights Blog: Kiro: Seattle Public Utilities Study:
This month’s speaker was Mark Larson, chief Criminal Deputy, King County Prosecutor’s Office. He explained the work the Criminal Division does. To see his comments, and other news, see the June minutes here. Note that the North Precinct picnic will be Saturday, July 13, and Seattle Night Out block parties will be Tuesday, August 6th. City Council is pondering a zoning ordinance for growing & processing marijuana in industrial areas of the city. It is also deliberating on what to do when Nickelsville homeless camp disbands; there are several ideas on the table. See minutes above for more information on both issues. Our North Precinct chief, Captain Robin Clark, is leaving to take a broader position: Acting Assistant Chief of Special Operations. She ably ran the North Precinct for almost four years. Her replacement will be announced in about a week.
This year Night Out is Tuesday, August 6th. You can register your block party or event and get help planning and publicizing it at http://www.seattle.gov/police/nightout/ Last year there were 1366 block parties in Seattle, and Pinehurst had a lot. Let’s do it again this year! Here is a limited picture of Pinehurst property crime for May 2013. You can see ALL the types of crime at http://web5.seattle.gov/mnm/policereports.aspx. Choose North neighborhood and dates May 1 – 31. I don’t know why the Memorial Day weekend burglary/arson isn’t showing. Maybe the police report hasn’t been written yet due to ongoing investigation.
Introducing Bruno – or maybe you’ve seen him on his daily walks these last few years. He’s a Soft-coated Wheaten Terrier rescue dog from Whistler, B.C. I got to know him when he stopped in front of my house to roll on a certain section of my lawn EVERY time he went by. It wasn’t stinky, it was just Bruno’s habit. Well, if it feels good, do it, eh, Bruno? If you would like to see your pet featured in the Pinehurst Pets column, please send a photo and a story about your pet to nancy@pinehurstseattle.org.
This month’s picture is by Evan. He drew it this week especially for the park. Take a walk to the pocket park and look at the pretty rainbow in the kiosk. The park is at NE 117th St & 19th Ave NE. A big thank you to Evan for sharing his artistic talents! If you would like to submit your child’s artwork for the Pocket Park, please email nancy@pinehurstseattle.org. We’ll put it on mat board donated by FRAMEIT Ltd, 10712 5th Ave NE.
