— from Stan Matthews, San Juan County Information and Internet Manager —

Crews will begin work on A Street in Eastsound in front of the Post Office the week of December 2, weather permitting, to install stormwater collection piping and catch basins.

This project will begin to alleviate longstanding drainage problems along A Street. Work will extend along A Street from the northwest corner of the theater parking lot east to the northeast corner of the theater.It will be necessary to close the eastbound lane of A Street, during the day, in the vicinity of the work for the 1-week duration of the project.

Traffic control will be provided but we encourage the public to be patient as delays are inevitable. If you have any comments or questions, please contact Dan Vekved, Project Manager, PO Box 729, Friday Harbor, WA 98250, by email at pubwks@sjcpublicworks.org or by phone at (360) 370-050
