Project Information

Background

This project will consist of two connected multimodal facilities in the Overlake area. The first is

a shared use path on the east side of 148th Ave NE from approximately NE 31st St to NE 40th St.

This portion of the project will continue in a manner similar to the existing frontage

improvements constructed at 3040 148th Ave NE, with a landscape strip and paved or

concrete path behind the existing curb line.

In addition, a high-comfort bicycle facility from 148th Ave NE to the SR 520 Trail will be

constructed on NE 36th St. This will be a retrofit of the existing roadway and may be

constructed by modifying the space between existing curbs.

Construction activities are expected to include but are not limited to grading, retaining walls,

lighting, concrete or asphalt surfacing, ADA ramps, channelization, signal modifications, and

landscaping.

Design efforts will coordinate with the improvements under design for the City’s current

148th Ave Safety Corridor Project, primarily at the intersections of 148th Ave NE and NE 31st St,

NE 36th St, and NE 40th St.

Project challenges are anticipated to be typical to construction in urbanized areas, working

around existing utilities, infrastructure, and trees.

Estimated construction cost:

$4,285,000

Project Funding

This project is being funded through Washington State Climate Commitment Act.

Project Challenges and Constraints

Project challenges may include coordination with property owners for easements and/or ROW

acquisition, tree retention, and integration with existing public and private infrastructure.

Project outreach and coordination with City of Bellevue and impacted properties will be

important.
