Existing ConditionsA recent development project completed 500 affordable apartments to the south of 49th Street NE, east of D St NE and a park to the north. Residents from this development are not currently provided convenient non-motorized access to Auburn Way N, due to the reduced roadway cross section to the west of D St NE. The project will complete non-motorized connections to between D St NE and Auburn Way N. This will provide non-motorized access between the development and the Auburn Way N corridor, including existing bus stops located to the north and south of the 49th Street NE signal. King County Metro (KC Metro) is converting the existing bus service to the RapidRide I line in 2026. RapidRide is KC Metros highest level of investment in convenience, innovation, reliability and service. The project will also support planned commercial development to the north of 49th Street NE to the east and west of D Street NE. Preliminary work on this development currently underway. |

Summary of Improvements
- The project will construct a new sidewalk along the south side of 49th Street NE, completing a gap in the sidewalk system between D Street NE and Auburn Way N. Along the north side of the street, the project will complete a gap in the existing separated trail facility from D Street NE to approximately 150 feet east of Auburn Way N. The project will also modify the Auburn Way N/49th Street NE intersection to add the missing east/west crosswalk on the south side of the intersection. This will require modifications to the signal and new curb ramps.
Description of Improvements
The project will complete the buildout of 49th Street NE between Auburn Way N and D Street NE, including widening the road to provide a three-lane cross section and non-motorized facilities.
