Location of Seawall Test Pits

It is also interesting to consider the spatial extent of the test pits. I have sketched out the pits on this map as best I could from the verbal description given by WSDot.

They indicate to me that, from what we know now, there is only a very limited area of seawall which is of concern and it is limited to the extremely trafficked area between Pike and Spring Streets. I wouldn't think that the area adjacent to Myrtle Edwards park is nearly as critical. So rather than 8,000 feet of seawall, perhaps the immediate problem is limited to 5 blocks or about 1000 feet. I am not making any sort of judgment, of course. but merely looking at the information provided by the State.
