"Officials plan to systematically block off parts of Aurora Avenue at North 96th, 98th, 100th, and 102nd Streets"

About 45 minutes ago, Seattle Fire just responded to a driver hitting someone on a bike at Aurora Ave N and N 130th Street.
The person who was hit is being transported to Harborview right now.
