It may be some time still until we see sidewalks on many of Maple Leaf’s side streets, but in the meantime the new sidewalks that are being added in conjunction with the 15th Avenue bridge project are beginning to take shape.
Here’s word from the Seattle Department of Transportation’s project page, last updated on Thursday:
15th Ave NE between NE 106th St and NE Northgate Way: Demolition work is complete on this site. Final utility work will occur this week. Grading for the curb, sidewalk and one new wall will begin next. Impacts to your driveway access during construction will be minimized, but will be necessary at times.
15th Ave NE between NE 94th St and NE 97th St: This week work began with vegetation removal. Once this is complete, the contractor will begin installing new pipes in sections of the existing ditch.
Keep an eye on the project website if you live near these sidewalks as “Road Closed” signs were stashed about. We’ll try to keep you updated, too.
