In March of this year, RBAW uncovered a proposed plan to limit Montlake Bridge openings to only TWICE DAILY during August, vs the normal process. We felt this limitation could have significant safety and operational impacts to summer recreational boating and jumped into action with WSDOT to negotiate an alternate opening plan to better accommodate boaters – while ensuring bridge construction could continue.
A big THANK YOU to the Yacht Clubs that leaned in and worked with RBAW and WSDOT to address concerns and improve the Montlake Cut bridge opening process for boaters – we were also able to replace the old and faded signage, add electronic signage communicating which span will be opening and get the tree’s trimmed so boaters can see the signs!!
