Repaving 125th Street
Art Brochet of Seattle Department of Transportation will speak about the repaving of 125th NE that is expected this year. Here is the link for the project. This could include some of Sand Point Way, and will not involve changing the number of lanes. Alll of the work is in the Thornton Creek watershed, and crosses the North Fork at 24th Avenue NE.
Stormwater Update
Seattle Public Utilities will be sending us a speaker on the subject of Mayor McGinn’s new stormwater goals. Background here
Rainwater from streets and roofs is a large contributor of pollutants that flow into Thornton Creek (car washing, leaking oil, pet wastes). The Mayor’s plan for increased capture and cleaning of stormwater could improve our creek, now considered the most polluted in Seattle.
