BelRed is transforming
As population and housing grow, the transportation system needs to grow too. One of the biggest transportation changes coming to the BelRed neighborhood is the future Spring District/120th Station as part of Sound Transit's East Link Extension Project. This important new transit hub will change how people use the 120th Avenue Northeast corridor, and the roadway needs to be updated to keep up with the changing neighborhood.
This is the final phase of the 120th Avenue Northeast Roadway Improvement project. Improvements we’re designing now will support the overall vision for the BelRed area to have a thriving economy, walkable neighborhoods, connections to parks and open spaces, environmental enhancements and a multi-modal transportation system.
Improvements under consideration
We’ve been working together with Sound Transit and King County Metro to design a corridor that has improved access and mobility for lots of different users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, drivers, transit users, and freight. For this final piece of 120th Avenue Northeast, we are looking to:
Widen the roadway | Improve landscaping and lighting | ||
Install sidewalks and bike lanes | Enhance corridor signage | ||
Replace an undersized culvert to improve fish passage | Pave and stripe the roadway | ||
Upgrade utility and stormwater facilities |
We were hard at work last year talking to properties along the corridor and designing these improvements! Today, our team is about 30% of the way done with our design work, and we want your help to make sure that we’re on the right track and help us complete the design.
