‍PROJECT BENEFITS

‍•              This work will result in enhanced electrical reliability and reduce the likelihood of unplanned power outages in the Hurstwood area.

‍PROJECT IMPACTS

‍•              The contractor may be working in multiple locations at a time. Customers can expect temporary parking and traffic restrictions. The contractor will work to limit traffic impacts.

•              Construction will require sections of roadway in the construction zone to be closed to traffic while construction is in progress.

•              Power outages will be required to complete the work safely. City Light will notify affected residents in advance before any planned power outages.

•              Trenching for conduits will occur in the public right-of-way (e.g., street and planting strips). Crews will cover trenches with steel plates outside of construction work hours.

•              The contractor will work closely with the City of Burien to protect trees and mitigate any removals.

•              All affected streets and landscaping will be restored and repaved, per City of Burien standards.

•              Driveway access to houses closest to the construction will be limited during working hours. Vehicles will be able to pass during non-working hours.

•              The project will not cause interruption to mail delivery or garbage/recycling/yard waste services.

•              Private service connections to homes are not included in this work. The homeowner is responsible for installing conduit in their private property.
