The new sidewalks on 15th Avenue Northeast are now more than just piles of dirt and lines of construction vehicles. Here’s the most recent update from the Seattle Department of Transportation, dated Oct. 13:
15th Ave NE between NE 106th St and NE Northgate Way: Sidewalk construction is now almost complete and all driveways are reopened. Landscaping will occur next. The project completion date is expected to be approximately October 22nd.
15th Ave NE between NE 94th St and NE 97th St: Installation of the new pipes is almost complete. The contractor will next grade for the new walkway, and pave it shortly afterwards. Final grading of the planting areas and the new swales, as well as hydroseeding of these areas, will be the final part of this project. The project is expected to be completed by the end of October.
