Sound Transit confirmed today that – as one of our readers had suspected – First Avenue Northeast will remain one-way at the Maple Leaf Portal for two more months.
First Avenue NE between NE 92nd Street and just south of NE 100th Street will remain open southbound only through May. Current traffic and Metro bus service detours will remain in place through this extension.
The northbound closure allows crews to safely complete excavation and dirt hauling of the Maple Leaf Portal site. Keeping the northbound lane closed helps keep trucks from tracking out dirt which can wash into nearby Thornton Creek. Additionally, the northbound closure maintains a consistent traffic pattern rather than having continually shifting conditions. Unfamiliar changes in traffic can create a safety hazard.
Crews now plan to open the northbound lane once excavation is complete in May.
Since the application date is empty in the list view, I’m guessing January 1989 is their Epoch. But that’s just a guess.
@ Tim. Thanks for trying to help but the one you point to is for a short plat in 1989 and can’t possibly still be active or even related to the hotel. I will make some calls and see what I can find out.
Sue, on that one it says Cancelled under Description of Work. The link I provided is the only active permit for the address.
@ Tim Here is the correct project number http://web1.seattle.gov/DPD/permitstatus/Project.aspx?id=3015894
This doesn’t really answer my question however

Any news on the hotel that was to go in where Marie Callendar is?
