Stage 4 - 224th to 220th

OVERVIEW

This project aims to design and construct improvements to Highway 99 from 224th Street SW to approximately 1,000 feet north of 220th Street SW consistent with the Conceptual Plans developed in the Highway 99 Revitalization Stage 1 planning project and the Highway 99 Revitalization & Gateway Stage 2 construction. Those improvements will extend the successful transformation of Highway 99 in Shoreline through Edmonds. The scope of the project will include wider replacement sidewalks, new street lighting, crosswalks with mid-block crossing landings where possible, improved stormwater management, targeted utility replacements, new dual-left turn pockets for NB and SB traffic at 220th Street SW, a new WB right-turn lane for traffic at 220th Street SW, potential undergrounding of overhead distribution utilities, landscaping, softscape treatments, and other streetscape improvements to speak to the unique character of Edmonds.

PROJECT LIMITS

The project begins in the south at the intersection of 224th Street SW and Highway 99 and extends north of the 220th Street SW and Highway 99 intersection approximately 1,000 feet to include dual left-turn pockets northbound, southbound, and westbound at 220th Street SW. A westbound right-turn lane will be added at 220th Street SW; along with this widening will be new connections to the Interurban Trail. The total length of Stage 4 is approximately 2,500 feet along Highway 99 and 900 feet along 220th Street SW. The current Interurban Trail passes under 200th Street SW east of Highway 99 and this tunnel will be extended as part of this project. There are two signalized intersections within the project limits, at 224th Street SW and 220th Street SW, as well as signals at adjacent intersections.
