From the ‘in case you wondered too’ file: Here’s what all those stakes along Highland Park Way SW are for
Several people have mentioned those stakes (and many others like them) along Highland Park Way, mostly on the south side of the hill between SW Holden and West Marginal Way SW. If you guessed that they’re related to the imminent lane-conversion project, you’re right. We asked SDOT, and here’s what spokesperson Ethan Bergerson told us:
These stakes mark the preliminary locations for new lighting we plan to build as part of the Highland Park Way Connection project. The new light poles will provide more consistent illumination to improve visibility and safety for people walking, biking, and driving.
This does not mean that construction is starting immediately. This is one of the standard pre-construction readiness activities we perform prior to starting the construction phase of the project.
Next step on the project is to choose a contractor; the city bidding website indicates they received six bids by the deadline last week, ranging from $1.4 million to $1.7 million.
