III. DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND
SR 520 Trail Grade Separation Project at NE 40th Street
This project will improve safety and operations for all users at the intersection of the SR 520 Trail and NE 40th Street by grade separating non-motorized users from vehicle traffic. A tunnel will be constructed underneath 40th Street for pedestrians and bicyclists and associated infrastructure improvements will connect the 520 Trail to the tunnel. Specific benefits of the project include:
? Improved safety for the high volume of pedestrians and bicyclists currently using the at-grade trail crossing, which conflicts with both through and turning traffic on NE 40th Street;
? Improved operations for vehicles and buses by reducing the number of pedestrians and bicycle crossing NE 40th Street; and
? Safe and efficient path for pedestrians and bicycles needing to cross NE 40th Street.
Please see Attachment A for a vicinity map.
