Update to the Neighborhood – June 2013

Happy June everyone…remember to step away from that desk, business, or storefront and enjoy the weather and the farmers market and all the fun summer offerings!

We are so excited about our progress on the BIA expansion. We are successful in our campaign and are gathering the last of the petitions to submit to the city. I know you are aware of our work to improve Pioneer Square for everyone; so let’s maintain the momentum. We encourage you to be part of the positive change in Pioneer Square, submit your petition!

See you in the neighborhood.

Milepost 31 Speaker Series – Operating the SR 99 tunneling machine

Bertha, the world’s largest tunneling machine, is currently being assembled in the SR 99 tunnel launch pit near Seattle’s stadiums. Join WSDOT for this month’s speaker series to find out next steps as crews test the machine and prepare to begin tunneling. You’ll also learn about some of the technological advances on the SR 99 tunneling machine, including how a 300-foot-long machine steers underground and what happens when the massive steel cutters on the front of the machine need to be changed.
