Elizabeth Gordon of Uncle Mike's BBQ in White Center shared this information today about some changes in the core community coming up.

The barricades/no parking signs going up on 16th Ave SW are for an asphalt overlay project going on between 112th & Roxbury

The grinding of curbs happens Friday (Aug 19), Mon, Tues starting at 112th on Friday. In sections, one side of the street will be closed and ground and then the other side. The crew will reach the stretch of 16th between 98th & Roxbury next Tuesday, probably, closing it down for the day or partially for the day.

Paving in the same way will happen Wed, Thurs & Friday of next week. The phone number for the traffic division at KC is 296-6596.

Gordon adds."The folks filming the movie on 16th - supposedly yesterday - moved it to next week Wednesday(?). It may not happen then either if they aren't aware the streets might be ground up & prepped for new asphalt."
