Deliveries to Post Alley should enter from Western Ave and Union St from Oct. 14-17.

The Market is open for business and walking, biking, and taking transit are a great way to visit.

With paving now finished, the Denny Way Paving Project is in its final stages.

To improve bus and streetcar operations, SDOT crews recently installed a new ‘c-curb’ and signs restricting right turns at Westlake Ave and Denny Way.

These restrictions take effect on Saturday, Oct. 11.

Workers use heavy machinery to lay asphalt on a city street.

Heading to a game this weekend? Playoff Mariners baseball, Seahawks, Sounders, and festivities mean LOTS of traffic and EXPENSIVE parking. But you can slip past it all: take transit to the game. Sal says: explore your options. Visit flipyourtrip.org.

Interesting. @seattledot.bsky.social crews are installing a new bike lane barrier on Campus Parkway today that I’ve never seen before. They call them “a new recycled rubber material that we are excited to pilot and evaluate its durability. “ www.seattle.gov/transportati...

Going to see @mariners.com in playoff baseball this weekend? We expect driving and parking will be challenging - particularly on Sunday when the Seahawks play.

Transit is a guaranteed grand slam: save $, reduce stress, maybe even get to socialize (and hopefully celebrate) with fellow fans.

Go Ms!
