The Seattle Department of Transportation is planning to work on Holman Road later this week. Here is the information from SDOT:
Seattle Department of Transportation paving crews will work on Holman Road NW between Mary Avenue NW and 9th Avenue NW on Wednesday and Thursday, April 13 and 14, if weather is favorable. The crews plan to work from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day to grind off old pavement and lay new asphalt on a portion of the street. One north lane and two south lanes will remain open.

they’re rolling out the orange on 15th and 83rd now.
Great, the city will send out the same crew/people that “fixed things” last time. Perhaps the city should stick a new fee on studded tires? As in paying for the damage they do to our roads. Holman road lately has become Pothole Ave N. Talk about a strong union and job security. Too bad there’s no competition in that field to get the job done right, the first time, then stand behind their work with a warranty. Your government, working 4 U, at any expense!
You get what you pay for. Not sure why people have such a hard time grasping this concept. We pay the lowest gas prices and lowest overall taxes of any industrialized nation so why are you surprised that we have such low quality roads? If you think you pay a lot in taxes you clearly haven’t spent much time outside of Seattle.
As for snow tires, they should be banned in Seattle. If you think you need them then you need to learn to drive.
