WSDOT has a safety improvement project on State Route 7 between SR 507 and 267th Street. The project will build roundabouts at 260th Street E, 224th Street E, 22nd Avenue E and at SR 507 and repave the roadway. This pre-design will also use Complete Streets to identify safety and accessibility improvements for everyone along and across SR 7 including active transportation users. Recommended improvements will become part of the safety project. The pre-design will also identify improvements for future projects along SR 7.
Key elements of the pre-design include:
- Focus on safe travel for everyone.
- Improve accessibility and comfort for people walking, rolling, biking and taking transit.
- Identify potential impacts to overburdened and vulnerable populations.
- Maintain access to the corridor for businesses, transit and freight.
