Project Description:

This project will provide an American's with Disabilities Act (ADA) connection to the Burke Gilman Trail, ADA improvements to the sidewalk along SR 522, provide access management along this section of SR 522 and a study of the south leg of 61st Avenue for conversion to one-way. Should additional funding become available, additional scope may consist of additional access points to the Burke Gilman Trial, under grounding of utilities, new street lighting, and buffered sidewalks.

Background:

Since it's incorporation, the City of Kenmore has completed improvements to SR 522 (Bothell Way) between 61st Avenue NE and the east city limits to increase safety, improve reliability, and ease congestion. Improvements included adding new traffic signals, street lighting and sidewalks, widening SR 522 for Business Access and Transit lanes, enhancing the corridor with new landscaping and medians to improve access management, replacing the Swamp Creek Bridge, under grounding utilities, and more. The final segment, Burke Gilman/SR522 Accessibility Project, will complete corridor improvements to the west City limits.

Funding:

The Burke Gilman/SR522 Accessibility Project project is funded by the State's Connecting Washington funding package.
