Wilson Avenue S Paving Project
What’s happening now?
Thank you to all the neighbors, business owners, and community groups that have engaged with the project. We anticipate construction will begin in the next 4 – 6 weeks. Leading up to construction, we will be in the community talking with neighbors and businesses about that should expect when construction begins. If you have any questions in the meantime, do not hesitate to contact us.

This year, the Seattle Department of Transportation plans to repave just over 2.5 miles of Wilson Ave S between S Dawson St and S Morgan St. As part of the repaving, we will be taking off the old top layer of the road, placing new asphalt and repainting the lane lines. In addition to repaving, we will also be putting in a new protected bike lane along Wilson Ave S between S Dawson St and S Morgan St. Our goal is to improve the safety, accessibility, and comfort for all users.
Other improvements include:
- Installing or upgrading curb ramps to be compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
- Replacing traffic detection loops that control the signals
- Repairing and replacing some sections of sidewalk in the project area
- Bringing storm drainage into code compliance where triggered
