Road work ahead on 228th Avenue, East Lake Sammamish Parkway
October 24, 2011
New: Oct. 24, 3:19 p.m.
Cracks in the pavement on large portions of 228th Avenue and East Lake Sammamish Parkway will be smoothed over in the coming months.
At their Oct. 17 meeting the Sammamish City Council approved a contract for crack sealing on 228th Avenue from Southeast 32nd Street north to Northeast Inglewood Hill Road and on East Lake Sammamish Parkway from southern city limits north to Inglewood Hill Road.
The city will spend $133,000 on the work, which is designed to extend the lifespan of the pavement and put off potential full-scale replacement work in the future.

The Sammamish City Council joined a handful of other Eastside cities Oct. 17 in publicly opposing an initiative that would rewrite the rules for tolling roads in the state.
