Blondo St widening
I read in the paper that they are about to start widening Blondo St from Eldorado-155th St. Also just to let people know, I did talk to a traffic engineer and after I made this request he did tell me that there will be a traffic signal on 153rd & Blondo.

I presume you are talking about Blondo, 155th going east to 135th, not west towards 168th...ZaEry wrote:I read in the paper that they are about to start widening Blondo St from Eldorado-155th St. Also just to let people know, I did talk to a traffic engineer and after I made this request he did tell me that there will be a traffic signal on 153rd & Blondo.
Re: Blondo St widening
I thought its already Widened from 141st to Eldorado Drive (Basically 148th Street). Didn't they do that when they did 144th Street?Coyote wrote:I presume you are talking about Blondo, 155th going east to 135th, not west towards 168th...

I guess ZeAfry did say from " 155th-Eldorado" I thought 155th was 'Eldorado.'
Re: Blondo St widening
Did they go all 5 lanes? I was just trying to think if I have even been on the new part? I know I have been on 144th, but I can't remember if I have been on the Blondo part.Coyote wrote:Duh, I knew that.... I was looking on a Google map for reference points...

Re: Blondo St widening
Just talked with someone who lives there, they are probably going to redo the 156th and Blondo intersection with this project, expect a 12-18 month long mess.
Re: Blondo St widening
Blondo narrows back down to two lanes at about 150th, in front of Covenant Presbyterian Church on the north side. They're also going to cut part of the hill down that peaks at about 150th.

Re: Blondo St widening
I'm pretty sure that intersection is going to done in phase 2, where they widen 156th from Dodge to Corby.Coyote wrote:Just talked with someone who lives there, they are probably going to redo the 156th and Blondo intersection with this project, expect a 12-18 month long mess.

Re: Blondo St widening
Construction begins Dec 10th, Blondo will be closed for... Months.
Re: Blondo St widening
Blondo closed from about 144-154th. Sign now says 156th to close on June 1. Anyone know details of 156th and Blondo in regards to what is actually closing and how long?
Re: Blondo St widening
I went pass that sign the other day and I got the impression that 156th would be open, but Blondo would be closed on both ends at 156th.blueblood wrote:Blondo closed from about 144-154th.

Re: Blondo St widening
KETV was going to have an article on some houses getting upset about their traffic patterns here, so it sounded like Blobdo would be a problem avenue for a while.HR Paperstacks wrote:I went pass that sign the other day and I got the impression that 156th would be open, but Blondo would be closed on both ends at 156th.blueblood wrote:Blondo closed from about 144-154th.

Re: Blondo St widening
Blondo is now open...
Re: Blondo St widening
How's the road? Since they closed the entire thing and rebuilt from the ground up it should be less bumpy than the section from 132nd to 144th, which has tons of misplaced concrete expansion lines, uneven pavement, roughness, etc.Coyote wrote:Blondo is now open...

Not bad, I was looking mostly at all the landscaping they had to do though...mcarch wrote:How's the road?

There will be a serious problem for a while on the WB Blondo... The right lane ends as a turn lane into the future Bright Ideas building. I can see this as being as dangerous as the WB I-80 60th St lane ending as a merge left... People will come down that hill and not notice that they need to merge left until the last moment...
Re: Blondo St widening
Am I correct that moving the underground creek under 156th and Blondo to accommodate a bigger intersection is the next phase?
