About the Project

The Safe Highways project was initiated by City staff in the Spring of 2017 to study the state highways within city limits—Bothell Way NE (SR 522) and  Ballinger Way NE (SR 104)—and  explore ways to make them safer, more accommodating to transit, and more walkable and bikeable. The project aims to:

1. Examine scenarios that improve access and connectivity while reducing mobility barriers for all types of travel, including pedestrian, bicycle, automobile, and public transit.
2. Improve area health and safety by increasing walkability and bikeability.
3. Identify needed safety improvements and corresponding remedies.

Project Status

 The final Safe Highways Report was published in March 2018. To learn more about how feedback was collected visit the Get Involved page.

How are Safe Highways and Safe Streets connected?

Safe Streets is a concurrent project looking at how to provide safe connections to transit, the Town Center, the Burke-Gilman Trail, Interurban Trail, parks, and schools.
