Residents of Sammamish and commuters passing through can expect several roadwork projects to affect traffic in the coming days, with a mix of convenience and disruption on the horizon. Ziply Fiber is bringing future-ready internet connectivity to select neighborhoods by installing underground high-speed fiber lines. Those eager for blazing internet speeds should brace for "minor traffic delays between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. along local roads during installation," as reported by the city's official website.
This infrastructure upgrade, while forging avenues for technological advancement, weaves its way under the streets, implicating motorists with its web of progress. Residents will be informed by Ziply about the plans and schedules prior to construction. The city provided a map showcasing areas where work has been completed, where it is ongoing, and where it shall commence shortly, as detailed by the City of Sammamish.
In addition to broadband enhancement, Puget Sound Energy is slated to commence a significant project involving the installation of a new gas main at the intersection of Sahalee and Northeast 37th Way. This work is "tenatively scheduled for Dec. 21, Dec. 23, Dec. 26 and Dec. 27 from 9:30 a.m. – 3 p.m.," as stated by the city's notice. A uniformed police officer will be tasked with the safety and direction of passers-by, seen controlling traffic at the intersection.
Finally, the groundwork for a new Brownstone development ushers yet more activity onto the streets.
