The 120th Avenue: NE 16th to Northup Way Improvement Projects ideas forum is now closed.

Welcome

Welcome to the online open house for the 120th Avenue Northeast: Northeast 16th Street to Northup Way Improvement Project. We appreciate your taking the time to learn about how we’re planning ahead for the future needs of the BelRed area and designing a roadway that works better for everyone and makes travel safer.

Share your ideas

After you’ve learned more about the progress we’ve made, click on the tabs below to share your ideas with us. You can also use the “Q&A” tab to ask a question, and we’ll respond with an answer. The survey closes on Friday, April 16 at 5 p.m.

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.

  • Urban Design

    Urban design features are an important part of the corridor. We’ll be working on these elements in the coming months, and we want to hear from you today to help guide our efforts. This survey will be open until Friday, April 16 at 5 p.m.

    What is urban design?

    Urban design elements are things that will be included in the corridor design to help to make the roadway safe, accessible, functional, and match the character of the BelRed area. Urban design elements standards are guided by the BelRed Subarea plan. Examples of these elements can include:

    • Sidewalks
    • Directional signs
    • Crosswalks
    • Landscaping
    • Overlooks
    • Natural drainage features
    • Benches and bike racks
    • Art and wall finishes


    Urban design opportunities on the corridor

    Take a look at the map below to see where we’re thinking of incorporating some urban design elements (e.g. signage, retaining wall designs, landscaping) to make the corridor a safe and vibrant part of the BelRed neighborhood. Click the image to enlarge it.
