Existing Conditions

This project is needed to improve safety for pedestrians and students traversing Mill Road SE near Ridgeline Middle School and Mill Pond Elementary School. The existing roadway offers no protection from vehicles turning movements or passing by. This is a gap in the sidewalk system between the intersection of the 104th Avenue SE and 107th Loop SE. This project will provide an ADA compliant walkway along the west side of Mill Road SE to eliminate the gap in the sidewalk. From a school official (2017),374 children that live within 1-mile of the school are not accounted for in bus/bike trips, are assumed to walk.
