Capitol Hill Community Post | Seattle City Light Plans Work to Increase Reliability on Summit Avenue East

Summit_Ave_flier_finalFrom Seattle City Light

Starting in early September 2016, Seattle City Light is working to increase the reliability of the electrical system in the Capitol Hill neighborhood by installing electrical vaults and new conduit (duct bank) along Summit Avenue East and East John Street. The work will be completed in three stages.

The attached flier is for your reference. Affected customers are being notified, so there is no action required on your part. 

Highlights from the flier:

  • This project is scheduled to start in early September 2016 and last for approximately three months. Daily work hours areMonday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
  • The duct bank and electrical vault installations will allow Seattle Parks and Recreation to proceed with their project to renovate and enhance Summit Slope Park.
  • Customers can expect sidewalk and traffic restrictions around the construction work area. Traffic and pedestrian safety will be maintained by uniformed police officers. Travel lanes on Summit Avenue East will be maintained in both directions.

For more information about this project, customers can contact Patty Breidenbach, Senior Electrical Service Representative at (206) 684-4795 or [email protected]. If you are from the media, please contact Scott Thomsen, External Communications at (206) 615-0978 or [email protected].
