Existing Conditions

The 2018 GMA Concurrency Report identified this corridor as At Risk of Falling Into Arrears, i.e. not eligible under GMA to accommodate future growth. Recent improvements, including widening the southerly portion of the corridor to three lanes, has improved the LOS for the near term but it is included on a “critical watch list” due to extensive growth planned for the Lynnwood Regional Growth Center and two County Urban Centers all three of which the corridor connects; a re-evaluation is scheduled for November of this year. Please refer to the Vicinity Map. The corridor is also a safety issue. Between 2015 and 2019 there was a total of 61 incidents in this corridor involving 117 vehicles; an Incident Map is attached hereto. Non-motorized facilities are disconnected, inconsistent in standards and in some locations nonexistent throughout the corridor and blocks are of inconsistent length. Please refer to the gap diagram attached to the application. In addition to the significant gaps in sidewalks, it is estimated that where there are sidewalks, less than 30% of the curb ramps meet current ADA Standards. Current drainage is a mixture of conveyance systems, sheet flow on to private property, ditches and some catch basin with pipes.

Description of Improvements

This project will widen the existing two-lane roadway between 156th St. SW & 148th ST SW to a three lane, Urban Standards roadway with a continuous center lane and bicycle lanes. Roadway geometry will be coordinated for functional consistency at two major intersections in the corridor. The project will be constructed to Complete Street Standards to include continuous ADA compliant sidewalk, including curb ramps, meeting current standards and bike lanes. It will also include continuous curb, gutter and planter strips on both sides of the street for safety and more effective storm water management
