*What's happening in Westlake?*

Crews continue trenching across the parking lot south of Halladay St to install conduit. In addition, crews continue demo work and the installation of a new pedestrian curb ramp near the Westlake Cycle Track. We're also continuing to work on a new pedestrian signal, street improvements, and upgraded sidewalks.

Street upgrades on Crockett St and Westlake Ave has started. Please expect to see some driving lanes closed and bus stops temporarily moved. Sign up for transit alerts [ https://kingcounty.gov/en/dept/metro/rider-tools/service-advisories/transit-alerts-signup?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ] to get up to date information.

Work on 8th Ave N and Galer St is starting as soon as early February. Neighbors can expect to see temporary street and sidewalk closures during construction. 

*Community Impacts:*


* Noise, dust, and increased vehicle traffic.
* Temporary parking restrictions, driveway closures, and traffic adjustments.
* Night and weekend work to reduce daytime disruption.
* Potential short-term utility service impacts.
* Please use caution driving over metal plates.

Route 40 Ridership is on the Rise

Route 40 has over *8,500 average weekday daily boardings [ https://app.powerbigov.us/view?r=eyJrIjoiZDMwMWExOTMtOTY3ZC00MTU5LTgxMDgtODM4MTZiYTExMzJkIiwidCI6ImJhZTUwNTlhLTc2ZjAtNDlkNy05OTk2LTcyZGZlOTVkNjljNyJ9&utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ] *(Fall 2024) - an 11% increase from Fall 2023. It is the fifth (5th) highest ridership route in the Metro network.

Project Benefits

In addition to the 5-10% transit travel time savings, 14-17% in Ballard to Downtown, the Route 40 project will maintain and modernize vital infrastructure

What you can expect during construction

* Temporary lane reductions
* Temporary driveway closures
* Temporary bus stop closures
* Temporary parking restrictions
* Temporary sidewalk detours
* Temporary storage of construction supplies in the street  
* Temporary noise, dust and vibrations
* Bus stop relocations
* Drainage work: This involves digging trenches to help manage water flow
* Signal pole foundation excavation: This work involves digging for the pole foundations prior to when we order custom signal poles which takes a while to build and to make sure we know there are no underground obstructions  
* Trenching for conduit: This involves digging trenches to lay down pipes or cables underground
* Sidewalk curb bulb out: This involves making the curbs stick outward for safety or accessibility
* Mill and fill overlay: This is when the top layer of the road gets removed and replaced with new asphalt

The construction timeline is always subject to change depending on weather conditions and materials availability. We are committed to keeping you informed and maintaining open communication throughout the remainder of this project.To learn more about the project and designs, visit our online open house.  [ https://route40.infocommunity.org/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ]
