Outstanding Items to Date 

Site #11: 15th Avenue NE and NE 148th Street
Unfortunately, one of the RRFBs has been damaged by vehicular collision just a few days after being put into service. The entire RRFB system at this intersection will be out of service until the damaged parts can be ordered and re-installed. An estimated schedule will be added once available from the contractor. 

Punch List and Corrections:
All sites currently in operation still require final City inspection and approval. Minor correction work may occur over the next few months.
