Planning study news
Thank you for participating in the SR 7 Pre-design. The pre-design in complete, and the project will move to a design office. Since summer of 2024, WSDOT has held advisory group meetings, in-person events, and an online open house.
Purpose
WSDOT has an upcoming safety improvement project on State Route 7 between SR 507 and 267th Street. The project will also repave the roadway. This pre-design identified Complete Streets improvements for everyone traveling along SR 7.
Survey results showed support for active transportation facilities, improved lighting, and new crossings of SR 7. You can read more about the community engagement process (PDF 1.1MB) and results (PDF 2.3MB).
Recommended improvements will become part of the safety project. The pre-design also identified improvements for future projects along SR 7.
Key elements of the pre-design include:
- Focus on safe travel.
- 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.
