SW Avalon Way & SW Orleans St SDOT has completed a technical analysis of the unsignalized marked crosswalk at SW Avalon Way and SW Orleans Street. This crosswalk no longer meets our recommended guidelines and will be removed. Once this crosswalk is removed, the nearest improved pedestrian crossing for this section of SW Avalon Way is located at the traffic signal to the north, at the intersection of SW Avalon Way and SW Spokane Street under the West Seattle Bridge. It is also important to note that, according to Washington state law, a legal pedestrian crossing exists at every intersection regardless of whether or not a crosswalk is marked. Thus, pedestrians will continue to have a legal right to cross at this location. For the safety of our crews who must work in traffic, and to reduce the impact on mobility in the area, this work may take place in the early morning hours or on a weekend. |
