PROJECT OVERVIEW

Underground electrical cables were originally installed in parts of the Endolyne/Brace Point area
in 1971. In 2011, a Seattle City Light contractor tested and where possible, injected the cables
with silicone to extend their life. However, several cable segments could not be injected and must
be replaced. City Light has hired a contractor to replace the aging electrical infrastructure in the
Brace Point area with new conduits, cables, vaults and streetlights. This work is tentatively
scheduled to start in August 2021.
Customers can learn more about this project by attending our virtual community meeting on
Wednesday, August 4, 2021, from noon to 1 p.m.

PROJECT DETAILS

• Trenching for conduits will occur in the

public right-of-way (e.g., street, lawn,
planting strips). Crews will cover trenches
with steel plates outside of construction
work hours. The contractor may be working
in multiple locations at a time. Crews will
work to limit parking and traffic impacts.

• Construction will require some road closures

to traffic during work hours. Detour signage
will direct traffic where possible. Crews may
limit driveway access to houses closest to
construction areas during working hours.
Vehicles will be able to pass during non-
working hours.

• The project will not cause interruption to

your mail delivery or garbage/recycling/yard
waste service. Please leave your cans on the
curb as you usually do.

• Maintenance power outages are required

to do the work safely. City Light will
notify affected residents in advance
before any outage.

• Private service connections to homes are not

included in this work. The homeowner is
responsible for installing new conduits in
their private property.

• The contractor will work closely with the Seattle Department of Transportation's (SDOT) Urban
Forestry group to protect trees and mitigate any removals. SDOT staff may be on-site to monitor this
work.

• All affected streets and landscaping will be restored and repaved in kind, per SDOT standards.
