The transformation of the 124th Avenue Corridor between Northeast Eighth Street and Northup Way continues at a steady pace. These improvements will enhance access and circulation for cars, transit, freight, pedestrians and bicycles between downtown, Wilburton and BelRed.
The transformation comes from the need to accommodate future growth and new land uses in the area, envisioned in the BelRed Subarea Plan. Project design, implementation and cost-sharing has been coordinated with Sound Transit’s Link 2 light rail line, which will begin limited service in 2024.
