Construction and maintenance activities in the street right-of-way typically require coordination with many agencies and on occasion coordination with other nearby construction activities, including federal, state and other local authorities. Coordination with some agencies will require the project applicant to provide advance notification so that any necessary reviews and approvals are in place prior to City permits being issued.
The City of Seattle Right of Way Management initiative has produced an online map where the user can ask for a log in to view the Street Use and DPD permitted activity in the area of their work site. This will improve the coordination of street and utility work in the street right-of-way. The Planning, Analysis, Coordination Tool (PACT) database and its accompanying map tools were developed to augment these coordination efforts. The PACT system tracks projects and coordination efforts. Information on project locations, coordination groups and moratoriums is available and updated twice yearly in April and July. The information on this interactive map from the SDOT Street Use Division is updated monthly.
