Major downtown Olympia road to close for three years during construction, WA says

The updated plans for restoring the Deschutes Estuary in downtown Olympia from its current status as a stagnant lake have gotten the attention of residents due to one specific change: The entire portion of Deschutes Parkway around Capitol Lake will need to be closed for up to three years to get the work done. Olympia resident Bill Elliott said on Nextdoor on Oct. 30 that he learned about the planned road closure at a public open house for the Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement on Oct. 28 at the Olympia Center. He said the event was only attended by about 20 people. “An up to 3-year closure of Deschutes Parkway Southwest between Lakeridge Drive and 5th Avenue is now being proposed for the Deschutes Estuary Restoration project,” he said. “The up to 3-year street closure is to allow for construction of the new roundabout at the intersection of Deschutes Parkway SW, Olympic Street, and the new bridge approach. That seems like a very generous street closure duration for the described work.” According to previous reporting, the project is one of the biggest urban restoration projects in the country. By the time construction starts, the cost of restoring the Deschutes Estuary

Washington energy customers win in hydro settlement

The Bonneville Power Administration, the agency that sells Columbia Basin hydropower, will lower its proposed rate hike after a legal challenge by local environmental and clean energy advocates. The administration had proposed a roughly 6% increase, arguing it needed an additional $250 million to meet new guidelines requiring more water to be spilled over Columbia River dams to support migrating salmon. Ben Otto, policy director for the Northwest Energy Coalition, which was part of the proceedings, said while he understands Bonneville needs to earn money for its services, the proposed increase was overblown. "BPA's finances are actually in really good shape, and we think that a more holistic examination would find ways to adapt these costs into BPA's overall financial picture instead of just immediately trying to reach into people's pocketbooks," Otto contended. The Bonneville Power Administration provides electricity to more than 5 million people across the Pacific Northwest and Otto said the settlement will save customers close to $40 million. He explained spilling water over dams allows juvenile fish to travel more safely downstream, without passing through lethal turbines. The proposed rate hike is one of several recent increases. The administration already raised its rates by about 9% this
