Lake Park Drive South Streetlight Repairs

Project Description

Seattle City Light contracted crews will be working in the Mount Baker neighborhood to repair and reconstruct the underground fed streetlight system on Lake Park Drive South, between Shoreland Drive South and South McClellan Street. New streetlight poles will also be installed with LED fixtures.

Location

The project is adjacent to Mt. Baker Park. Construction crews are working on Lake Park Drive South, between Shoreland Drive South and South McClellan Street.

Community Benefits

• The repaired underground streetlight system will result in fewer streetlight outages and better streetlight distribution throughout the length of the work area.

Anticipated Impacts

• Crews will trench and install underground electrical infrastructure for the new streetlight system. This will require an underground street crossing on Lake Park Drive South.
• All affected planting strips within the right-of-way will be restored.
• Traffic may be impacted during this work. Traffic control flaggers will redirect traffic through the work zone as needed. Expect temporary road closures during construction.
• Some sidewalks and parking will be restricted within the construction work area for truck staging and equipment storage.
• Maintenance power outages are not anticipated for this work.
• Existing streetlights will be replaced with new LED fixtures and poles.
