Thanks to everyone who joined us for the West Seattle Bridge Program virtual public meeting yesterday!
We appreciate those who joined us online to hear updates about the ongoing repair effort on the West Seattle High-Rise Bridge (high bridge), expanded access on the Spokane St Swing Bridge (low bridge), and our work to improve access to and around West Seattle through the Reconnect West Seattle, Home Zone, and neighborhood travel options programs.
More than 250 community members joined the meeting to learn about the project and asked questions about:
- The high bridge repair timeline and design methods
- Traffic mitigation projects on detour routes
- Replacement planning
- Low bridge access policy updates
- Public transportation options
In the coming weeks, we’ll post full recordings of the virtual public meeting with subtitles in English, Spanish, Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese, Khmer, Somali, and Oromo on the West Seattle Bridge Program. We’ll also post translated meeting summary, Q&A from the event, and the translated PowerPoint presentation. In the meantime, you can view the meeting (in English) on YouTube. Please note: The Q&A portion is audio only.
