One of the early implementation actions associated with the Overlake Neighborhood Plan update is a study of the NE 40th Street Corridor.  In March 2009, the City hired Otak Inc, a consulting firm, to conduct the NE 40th Street Corridor Study.  Work on this study will continue through November. 

The goals of the project are to:

• Improve the corridor for non-motorized modes (pedestrians and bicyclists) by identifying improvements both along and across NE 40th Street.
  
• Identify improvements for all modes at the SR 520 interchange with particular regard to safety.
  
• Enhance corridor aesthetics by identifying a corridor design theme, including illumination and landscape concepts.
  
• Improve the function and safety of the 172nd Avenue NE intersection.

Draft Report

The NE 40th Street Corridor Study Draft Report summarizes the work conducted during the study as well as the recommendations for quick action, short-term, and long-term improvements along the five segments of the corridor.  The Executive Summary provides an overview of this report.
