Region: Puget Sound | Legislative District: 37 | Length: 0.58 mi. | FY 2023 Urban Arterial Program (UAP) |
Existing ConditionsThe project would significantly improve driving conditions, enhance pedestrian accessibility, and extend the lifespan of an important road corridor that serves an historically underserved community. Pavement surface condition is poor (2019 avg PCI of 50/100) with extensive cracking, potholes, and failing utility patches. Pedestrian facilities along the road corridor, including all curb ramps, were prioritized for replacement in the King County Road Services Division's 2021 ADA Transition Plan, due to physical design and proximate pedestrian destinations. The corridor supports elementary school traffic, frequent bus service (Metro #107), freight, and other traffic bound for SR-900, Renton Ave South (minor arterial), and Beacon Ave South (major collector). The route is used to access key community destinations, such as Campbell Hill Elementary School, Skyway Park, grocery stores, a bowling alley, and many other commercial destinations. |

Summary of Improvements
- Primary outcomes will include a smooth and safer driving surface along 68th Ave S, refreshed lane markings, 35 upgraded curb ramps, and improved pedestrian accessibility. Benefits will improve safety and access to transit, an elementary school, various commercial and residential neighborhood destinations. The project extends pedestrian accessibility provided by 2022 grant-funded sidewalk construction on Renton Ave S, from 68th Ave S to S 112th St.
Description of Improvements
The project will improve driving conditions and extend the life of the roadway by completing pavement repair in the travel lanes and a full width asphalt overlay and upgrading 35 curb ramps to current ADA standards to improve pedestrian accessibility.
