Thank you for sharing your feedback during the online open house November 12 to 26.

A summary of the community engagement activities is being developed. It will be published in early 2025.

Purpose

WSDOT has a safety improvement project on State Route 7 between SR 507 and 267th Street. The project will build roundabouts at 260th Street E, 224th Street E, 22nd Avenue E and at SR 507 and repave the roadway. This pre-design will also use Complete Streets to identify safety and accessibility improvements for everyone along and across SR 7 including active transportation users. Recommended improvements will become part of the safety project. The pre-design will also identify improvements for future projects along SR 7.

Key elements of the pre-design include:

  • Focus on safe travel for everyone.
  • 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.
The SR 7 Pre-design from SR 507 to 267th Street in Pierce County will identify improvements along and across the corridor for all users of all modes of travel.
