Purpose
State Route 99 (SR 99) in the city of Lynnwood and unincorporated Snohomish County is a heavily traveled corridor that serves as a major north-south alternative to Interstate 5 (I-5), and links Lynnwood, Everett and other growing communities in Snohomish County. The area lacks safe crossings, sidewalks, pathways for biking, and other pedestrian and transit safety elements in multiple locations making it difficult for travelers walking, biking, rolling and accessing transit through the corridor.
The purpose of the SR 99 Lynnwood and Unincorporated Snohomish County Pre-Design Study is to identify long- and near-term improvements that meet Complete Streets requirements, develop concepts that would provide safe and convenient connections for travelers walking and biking, improve access to transit on SR 99 via walking, rolling and biking, and increase the safety and mobility for all modes of transportation through the corridor.
This study is focused on identifying Complete Streets improvements that can be implemented with maintenance, safety and capacity investments. The study will be conducted along SR 99 between 208th Street Southwest and Airport Road in Lynnwood and unincorporated Snohomish County.
