April 6th – SR 520 Construction Noise Meeting

by 1 Comment

noiseThere is another important process & deadline upon us this week with regards to the Montlake Phase of SR 520 Construction. WSDOT has applied for a Noise Variance during construction (click to review application) and they will be holding the only public meeting this Thursday, April 6th. You may read the bulletin here: http://web6.seattle.gov/DPD/ LUIB/Notice.aspx?BID=1222&NID= 24653

Many neighbors are concerned about this and are opposing any noise variance allowing for construction prior to 8 AM and later than 7 PM Monday through Friday.

Please take advantage of the public comment period which ends Thursday, April 6th Thursday, April 20th by sending an email with your comments concerning construction noise and hours of operations here:

  • prc@seattle.gov
    Reference Project # 3027364
  • Or By Mail: SDCI, PRC, P.O. Box 34019, Seattle, WA  98124-4019

Finally, please attend the ONLY PUBLIC MEETING on the noise variance issue:

Thursday, April 6th
4:00 to 6:30 PM
St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church

If you prefer to view WSDOT’s noise variance docs as PDFs rather than DOCX files, go to this Dropbox folder.

You can see all WSDOT’s material and comments already filed here. (Type in 3027364 for the project number)

While yesterday’s opening of Portage Bay’s Little Lago may have been quiet, inside was anything but! Laughter & chatter filled the space when owner Carla Leonardi fired up the oven and little-lago-openingopened Little Lago’s doors to those who have been anxiously following Little Lago on Instagram or Facebook.

A simple photo was posted announcing the soft opening as final details will be completed in the coming weeks (deli & gelato).

In addition to our tasty pizza, I picked up a bottle of one of my favorite white wines from the wine wall.

fullsizerender-35I won’t give away all the details, do yourself a favor and stop by this little gem and order up a pizza or calzone while you peruse the shelves.
