Robby D. is wondering about construction blocking off the Burke down by Gas Works, in front of Urban Surf. Radically improving his chances of having his comments published, he included photos!
Today I was walking by Urban Surf, and I couldn’t help but notice the construction. It’s a big mess, and I was here about a week ago, and I saw the exact same thing. Never once have i seen a construction worker. Have they just abandoned the work?
Not sure about that site, but we detoured around construction on the Burke down by Husky Stadium today, and there were several workers pushing dirt around.
Not sure what the work going on along the Burke in front of the Urban Surf, but the work near Husky Stadium is apparently to install a new power line and vault to the triangle where Sound Transit will be building its new light rail station (this according to the Seattle Transit Blog). They’re doing the work now while the UW is on winter break to minimize impacts to students. …at least, that’s the general idea.
