Shoreline Looking for Feedback on N 145th
The City of Shoreline has been busy developing the preliminary design to update 145th Street (SR-523) from Aurora Avenue North to I-5. This new design will improve safety and ensure that this critical corridor can effectively serve Shoreline and the growing number of travelers who rely on it every day.
The timing is planned to coincide with the opening of the Jackson Park Link station in 2024. Don't let the word "multimodal" get you too excited. Bike lanes will be "off-corridor" (e.g. greenways), and there won't be much in the way of bus priority (there's only one, peak-only bus, the 304, on this section of 145th). Also the sidewalk will still be right up against the street, at least in one direction.
Note that this project is separate from the Sound Transit 522 BRT project, which will also use 145th east of I-5 and which will have dedicated bus lanes.
It will take nine years to plan, design and build the 1-mile Aurora-to-I-5 corridor, over three phases, at a cost of $63M. You can comment online by May 1.
