We’ve finished building the first phase of the permanent Aurora-Licton Springs Healthy Street! Work is complete on Fremont Ave N from N 110th St to N 87th St, and on N 100th St from 1st Ave NW to Linden Ave N. Later this year, we will finish installing the other sections of the permanent Healthy Street on N 100th St from Stone Ave N to College Ave N, and on Ashworth Ave N from 100th St to N 92nd St.

On May 10th, we will host a plant pick-up event for neighbors who volunteered to maintain planters to pick up their requested plants. The event will be from 10 am – 12 pm in Greenwood Park. We will follow up with neighbors who signed up to maintain a planter with more details closer to the event.  

We will let you know when construction for the remaining sections of the permanent Healthy Street is scheduled. You can sign up for email updates to receive construction and other updates.

Design Elements 

The Aurora Licton-Springs Healthy Street improves safety by:

  • Providing more space for people walking and biking
  • Limiting vehicle traffic to local access only
  • Installing markings on the street, signs, and concrete planters and sign bases at intersections that encourage drivers to slow down and watch for people in the street
  • Installing markings on the street and signs at intersections so people know not to park within 20 feet of an intersection

Here is what the permanent Healthy Street looks like at these intersections: 

Fremont Ave N & N 88th St 

  • New painted curb on west side
  • Reinforce existing no parking
  • Improve sightlines near Greenwood Park

  • New painted curb on west side
  • Reinforce existing no parking
  • Improve sightlines near Greenwood Park

Fremont Ave N & N 105th St

  • New medians on north and south legs with cut-throughs for people biking. This change helps encourage drivers to follow the local access only restriction and discourages vehicle cut-through traffic.
  • No vehicle turns from N 105th St onto Fremont Ave N
  • Existing left and right turn-only restrictions maintained for vehicles on Fremont Ave N at N 105th St

  • Improve sightlines to encourage slower vehicle speeds near where people are walking, biking, and rolling 
  • Safer access to the Interurban Trail

Healthy Street Planters 

For some permanent Healthy Street locations, neighbors can choose to replace the standard concrete sign bases with planters. SDOT will install planters at Healthy Street intersections based on the requests we receive from neighbors (see diagram and image below). Neighbors who request planters are responsible for maintaining the planters after installation. For more information about adopting planters and planter maintenance, visit the Healthy Street Planters webpage.

What to expect during construction 

We expect to build the remaining sections of the permanent Healthy Street in 2025. During construction, you can expect: 

  • Typical work hours from 7 AM to 5 PM. Work usually happens on weekdays but sometimes can occur on weekends.
  • Noise, vibration, dust, and debris
  • Construction staging and parking impacts near the work sites
  • “No Parking” areas and other parking impacts
  • Crosswalk and sidewalk closures, and detours for people walking and biking
  • Changes in construction schedules due to weather or the availability of work crews and/or materials
