Heads up, Broadway regulars: Starting September 29, you'll need to temporarily reroute your nighttime drives. Broadway will be undergoing pavement striping from California Street to 18th Street, and this will cause closures every night from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., Monday through Friday. Everett officials have announced the work will be weather-dependent, so keep an eye out for date changes.
The striping project aims to be completed swiftly without interfering with the bustling daytime traffic. As per the city's communications, they've chosen nighttime to diligently work and minimize disruptions. If you're a night owl relying on transit, note that bus stops caught in the closure will be out of service. Transit authorities promise that notices will be visibly posted at all affected stops. Meanwhile, traffic detours will be clearly marked, directing vehicles around the work zone. For the specific detour routes, you can check out the city's detour map.
The city is making efforts to ensure that access to properties along Broadway is maintained, and they've assured that emergency vehicles will have the access they need, albeit with some limited hindrances. Those in need of more details on the pavement overlay project can visit the project’s website. And while the city is apologizing for any inconvenience, they're also expressing their gratitude for the public's patience and understanding during this time.
For those with queries or in search of more information, Kathleen Baxter, communications and education manager, is the go-to person. She's available at 425-257-8875 or via email at [email protected]. The city also encourages residents to talk to their neighbors about the upcoming work and to visit the city’s neighborhoods webpage for community group meeting times. In a show of community spirit, sharing info might just help to navigate through these temporary nightly closures.
