Lake Washington Boulevard Renovations

Updated: March 27, 2024

Spring 2024

We are excited to share conceptual designs to help move towards actualizing improvements on Lake Washington Boulevard. These designs are based on feedback we received from the community and traffic data.

View the proposed design concepts here.

After incorporating additional input from the community, these concepts will require additional design to further develop and implement.

Take our Survey - Please take our survey to share your feedback on the draft concepts. The survey will be open until May 12.

It is important for us to meet the community where they are. If you host, coordinate, or attend a standing community organization or neighborhood association meeting, let us know and we can come to you. The project team would be more than happy to attend and present at a community/neighborhood organization-hosted event to talk about the Lake Washington Blvd Renovations project and gather feedback.

Please send an email to Jordan.Hoy@seattle.gov to invite the project team to your community-hosted meeting.

Budget

$404,000 is allocated to this project for planning, design and construction.

Project Description

In partnership with the Seattle Department of Transportation and the community, Seattle Parks and Recreation is leading and managing the implementation of improvements to Lake Washington Boulevard to help promote pedestrian and bicycle use and increase safety for everyone who visits and travels along Lake Washington Boulevard. 

Informed by the Short-Term Recommendations in the Lake Washington Boulevard Visioning Process and Recommendations Report created by the Lake Washington Blvd Task Force, the Lake Washington Boulevard Renovations Project aims to improve sidewalks and pedestrian paths to be ADA-compliant and increase safety by adding stop signs, speed humps, raised crosswalks, and other traffic calming infrastructure. In this project phase, Seattle Parks and Recreation will not be installing a dedicated bike lane.
