Feedback from commuting around this project for the last year: When traveling Southbound on Montlake Blvd, the layout and signage of the two right hand turns onto 520 (west and then east respectively) is pretty hazardous. Initially the signage suggests that the right most lane is Westbound only, but then it allows drivers to continue through that intersection, meanwhile the second right most lane says 520 east, where you then need to get into the right most lane after the westbound turnoff. Ideally that right most lane would be a MUST turn onto westbound 520, and the second right most would then flow into the right most lane after that. Thanks, and already seeing some big improvements with this project!

Feedback: 1) blanket Do Not Turn On Right signs throughout the city seem to be impractical w/o adding time periods (e.g., why restrict turns during off-peak/dark hours), 2) canopy rooftop surface area is very large, any drainage/downspout systems included? 3) how strict is the QC/QA for overall work? In past recent civic/civil jobs, I've noticed various small quality issues with edges not lined up, pre-mature surface degradation, scattered rust, etc. Otherwise, great presentation.
