SMC/Degroff Traffic Pattern Change
10/31/2019
The City and Borough of Sitka (CBS) Public Works Department has changed the traffic pattern at the intersection of DeGroff Street and Sawmill Creek Road in accordance with the attached map.
Sawmill Creek Road (SMC) traffic will not be able to directly access DeGroff Street. The paved area west of the gravel island is limited to one-way traffic (for vehicles exiting DeGroff). SMC traffic wanting to access DeGroff will need to use Baranof Street or other streets that intersect with DeGroff.
The delineators recently installed east of the gravel island prohibit traffic exiting or entering DeGroff Street at that location. The paved area to the north of the gravel island is for two-way traffic, primarily serving residents of Park Street Extension.
Please call the Public Works Department at 747-1804 with any questions.
