The project addresses safety issues along this segment of 124th Avenue Northeast until additional funding becomes available. The measures include providing a mid-block crossing at Northeast 10th Place, installing light fixtures and improving access for people with disabilities. Ultimately, plans call for adding separated, multi-use paths on both sides of the street, landscaping, irrigation and drainage improvements and other upgrades.
Benefits
The project provides pedestrian and bicycle access to the future light rail station at 120th Avenue NE. Its design is compatible with nearby development and includes the following safety improvements along 124th Avenue NE, between NE 8th and NE 12th Streets (refer to map and construction alert):
- Sidewalk with curb ramp improvements on the west side of 124th Avenue NE, from NE 8th Street to NE 10th Place;
- Median with a flashing beacon and mid-block crossing south of NE 10th Place; and,
- Eight new streetlights on both sides of 124th Avenue NE (to be installed at a later date).
