PROJECT LOCATION

This project is being designed and constructed in two phases.  

Phase 1:  S 288th St - Military Rd S to 34th Ave S

Phase 2: S 288th St - 16th Ave S to Military Rd S

PROJECT SCOPE

This project constructs a continuous bicycle and ADA-accessible pedestrian route along S 288th St between 16th Ave S and 34th Ave S, mid-block pedestrian crossings, and replacement of the traffic signal at Military Road.  For the most part, the existing curb and gutter, as well as existing sidewalks, will remain as-is.  This is a "road diet" project that will convert S 288th St from two vehicle lanes in each direction, to a single lane in each direction along with a two-way-left-turn lane and bicycle lanes. 

 Additional information on road diets can be found HERE.
