Updated: May 5, 2023
What's happening now?
Construction for the new crossing improvements have started!
The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) is building new crossing improvements on N 130th and Ashworth Ave N as early as April 21, 2023. This is one of the 15 Neighborhood Street Fund projects requested by neighbors and selected by the Levy to Move Seattle Oversight Committee. Neighborhood Street Fund is a city program, running on 3-year cycles, that enables neighbors to propose and help prioritize transportation-related projects that are then built by SDOT

- Work will happen during the week as well as the weekend
- Typical construction time will be 7am-4pm
- N 130th St around the project area will temporarily be reduced to one lane in each direction during work hours
- Temporary lane and street closures for people driving
- Temporary vehicle detours
- Temporary sidewalk and crossing closures and detours for people walking and rolling
- Temporary parking restrictions near the work area.
- Noise, dust and vibrations during work hours
- Construction staging and parking impacts near the work sites
- Changes in construction schedule due to unforeseen circumstances (i.e., weather, soil conditions, etc.)
Project Overview
N 130th St is busy arterial located just south of Ingraham High School. Many students cross N 130th St at Ashworth Ave N to access a bus stop or walk or bike from the surrounding neighborhood. The project will build a new full signal at the intersection, new curb ramps, new crosswalks, and a new sidewalk on the south leg of the intersection. This project will be coordinated with planned improvements on N 130th St including paving, redesigning the road from four to three lanes, and adding bike lanes. The new signal will also support a future neighborhood greenway on Ashworth Ave N.
