Melrose Promenade Project Updates

Crews and equipment working at Olive Way

Construction starts next week!

Melrose Promenade Neighbors,

We’re excited to start construction of the Melrose Promenade next week! Starting next week and continuing into the following weeks, we’ll be building new accessible curb ramps at E Roy St and repairing sections of the street and sidewalk on Melrose Ave between E Roy St and E Republican St. We anticipate starting north near E Roy St and working our way south toward E Republican St. We’ll be cutting and breaking pavement, and then pouring concrete to restore the areas. People can expect noise and vibrations during the pavement cutting and breaking.

Flaggers will be on-site to direct traffic and detour routes will be signed for sidewalk and lane closures. Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times to residences. Please use caution when traveling through active construction areas and follow all posted detours.

During construction, you can expect:

Temporary “Local Access Only” restriction on Melrose Ave between E Roy St and E Mercer St

Temporary parking restrictions
Temporary sidewalk, lane, intersection, and crossing closures
Noise, dust, and vibrations during work hours (typically weekdays from 7 AM – 5 PM)
Construction equipment staged in the work area

Help shape transportation in Seattle

Seattle Transportation Plan   

We've started our first round of community outreach for the Seattle Transportation Plan (STP), and we want to hear about your needs and priorities! The STP is our commitment to building a safe, efficient, and affordable transportation system. It is an opportunity for all of us to reimagine how we want to move around the city in the future and enjoy our streets and public spaces.

You can tell us about your transportation needs and priorities in the following ways:

On the Seattle Transportation Plan Online Engagement Hub, you can take a new survey, come to an upcoming event, and tell us where you see places for change. 
Sign up for Seattle Transportation Plan email updates to receive information about how to share your ideas with us, and learn more on our website.

The Office of Community Planning and Development (OPCD) is also asking for your help to create the Seattle Comprehensive Plan Update (the One Seattle Plan). Visit OPCD’s One Seattle Plan Engagement Hub to learn more and share your input to guide Seattle’s big-picture future. 

Thank you!

Thank you in advance for your patience during construction, and don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or comments.

Sincerely,

Candace Goodrich
Communications and Outreach Lead
