Project Description: The Redmond Way Sidewalk
and Transit Improvement Project is part of 1.3 miles of transit enhancements to
be constructed in Redmond and in Kirkland between 132 and 140 Avenue NE. The
project includes the construction of a sidewalk along the north side of Redmond
Way and the installation of a planter strip between the sidewalk and the
westbound lanes of traffic. The west to northbound right turn lane at the
intersection of Redmond Way and 132 Avenue NE will be extended 70 feet to help
improve level of service at this location. A center median will be built between
132 and 139 Avenue NE. These two Redmond Way intersections will be widened to
permit u-turns since the proposed medians will restrict left turn movements.
Redmond Way is not considered a multi-modal corridor, therefore no bike lanes
are planned for Redmond Way as part of this project. Rebuilt and retro-fitted
ADA ramps will be installed on Redmond Way at the intersections of 132 and 139
Avenue NE and also at the intersection of Redmond Way and 140 Avenue NE. All of
these improvements are consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan and with
the pedestrian and transit policies developed during the Transportation Master
Plan.
