Christina, our neighbor over here near 40th Ave NE and Latona, writes: Had a little chat this morning with construction workers on 40th greenbelt--stair rehab project. They've excavated the old stairs and we'll soon have a new poured concrete staircase with new handrail. Stairs will be 6ft 10inches wide (the standard stair width of Seattle, or of something)--that's double-wide what the old one was.
