The Phase 2 project is one of three segments along Bothell Way NE and is located at the northern end of the overall project limits. It is a heavily congested two-lane roadway with minimal shoulders and a history of frequent accidents. The corridor currently lacks continuous sidewalks, bike lanes, and transit facilities. The average daily traffic (ADT) is 37,065 vehicles, operating at Level of Service (LOS) D, and is projected to increase to 36,400 vehicles with LOS F by 2040.The proposed improvements will enhance mobility and safety by optimizing lane configurations and incorporating smart infrastructure. A protected two-way bike lane will provide cyclists with a dedicated, safe route, while widened sidewalks will improve accessibility for all users, including those with disabilities. Landscape planters will act as buffers between pedestrians and traffic, and new lighting will enhance visibility at night.Additionally, new Swift Green Line transit platforms will improve access to public transportation, encouraging multimodal travel and helping to ease congestion. In summary, this project directly addresses longstanding safety and capacity concerns, creating a more functional, inclusive, and sustainable corridor that better serves drivers, cyclists, pedestrians, and transit users.

Project Description
This project will deliver the following improvements 1. Enhanced roadway capacity and intersection efficiency, including Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), to improve mobility for vehicles, transit, and freight. 2. Completion of the bike network with protected bicycle lanes connecting King Countys RegionalSammamish River/Burke-Gilman Trail to Snohomish Countys Regional North Creek Trail. 3. Expansion of the sidewalk network to accommodate pedestrian growth and improve access to transit and active transportation throughout the corridor. 4. Increased capacity to support Community Transits SWIFT Green Line expansion (Bus Rapid Transit from Downtown Bothell/University of Bothell/Cascadia College to Canyon Park) and connections to Sound Transits SR 522 and I-405 Bus Rapid Transit systems, and other local transit services. 5. Safety improvements including enhanced vehicular sight distance, separation of non-motorized users from vehicle traffic, installation of combination medians/left-turn lanes to manage access, and improved street lighting.6. Improves connections between the downtown Central Business District, Canyon Park Regional Growth Center, and Urban Activity Center at 240th St SE.
