Seattle might see the return of the NBA. Also, these basketball-related public service announcements from CHS:
- : Seattle Academy wants to give you a heads up about traffic related to a hoops event the school is hosting this year that will draw visitors from across the city to the area around its 13th/Union campus Wednesday night and Thursday. Also, you might want to check out the action.
On Wednesday, February 8, and Thursday, February 9, Seattle Academy will host the Emerald City League Basketball Playoffs.
Below is detailed information regarding the game schedules and other important SAAS performances and events that take place over the next few days. There will be a noticeable increase in traffic around the school on both days, particularly Thursday. We have spent significant time planning for the these events and hope to minimize the impact by clearly communicating with our parents, students, and faculty and staff as well as the visiting sports teams.
- : Dodgeballers, polo players, hoop stars and tennis couples, be warned. Seattle Parks tells us the Cal Anderson sports courts will be plunged into darkness for two weeks starting Wednesday night for the final electrical work from this summer’s overhaul of the park’s lighting system:
The lighting system for the tennis courts and basketball courts at Cal Anderson Park will be out for approximately two weeks starting today, February 8, 2012. Seattle City Light is replacing the temporary power connection with a permanent connection to a new upgraded electrical cabinet. This work completes the ballfield lighting project.
Parks and Recreation apologizes for the inconvenience.
Power to the ballfield lights is not affected, and will remain operational while the City Light work takes place.
The lighting project demolished the existing 40 year old wood poles and outmoded lighting system, and replaced it with a state-of-the-art system that features eight steel poles instead of 12 and is more energy efficient.
The project was funded through a 2006 Ballfield Lighting Upgrade program, implemented over six years from the Cumulative Reserve Fund. It provided for planning, design, and construction of the park lighting improvements.
