Project Description: The Puget Sound Energy

misalignment pedestrian and cyclists cross the road at a midblock location. The
project will install a full traffic signal and realign the trail to be adjacent
with the south driveway to Overlake Christian Church.

Project Description: LEAP 211 will install a
crosswalk with pedestrian activated overhead beacons on 178th Place NE between
the Bear Creek Park and Ride, and the Work Source center / retail areas. The
crosswalk and beacons will provide safer direct access for transit riders to
public and retail services. The project will construct a new crosswalk including
wheelchair ramps, signage and striping and an overhead flashing crosswalk
assembly with amber flashers. There will also be pavement repair at the
intersection.
LEAP 220 will realign the crosswalk/Bike 520 trail crossing, improve wheelchair
ramps, and modify signage at the intersection of West Lake Sammamish
Parkway/Leary Way/SR520 westbound ramps. This improvement will reduce conflicts
between right-turning vehicles and pedestrians/bicyclists in the crosswalk.
