SDOT is testing a different method for repairing sidewalks in a sample area in Capitol Hill. Capitol Hill Seattle interviews SDOT for details on this process:
The work on Broadway near Roy is a trial effort for repairing sidewalks. Instead of using asphalt to fill gaps, this approach sawcuts lifted areas of concrete using a patented process. The approach could allow us to create walkway fixes that looks great and meet ADA standards for walkways.
We are testing it as a technique for sidewalk repair on three blocks on Broadway and will determine if it is a cost effective solution for maintaining walkways.
It’s good to see that different ideas are being explored in order to bring us pedestrians safer and smoother sidewalks. Visit Capitol Hill Seattle for photos.
