Final design set for Lundeen Parkway

By Sharon Salyer

Herald Writer

Snohomish County officials have decided how to proceed with an $8 million project to widen and lengthen the Lundeen Parkway near Lake Stevens.

A center turn lane will be added to the existing two-lane roadway, along with new bicycle lanes and sidewalks, said Mary Auld, senior environmental engineer with the Snohomish County Public Works Department.

The 1.1-mile project will now go forward unless an appeal is filed in Snohomish County Superior Court before May 17.

The two-year project is expected to begin next spring, Auld said.

There are two parts to the project. First, it would extend Lundeen Parkway from its current dead end to Highway 204. Second, the section of the road between Highway 9 and 12th Place NE will be widened.

The travel lanes will be 12 feet. The speed limit will be 35 mph. There also will be bike lanes, planter strips and sidewalks, each of which are five feet wide.

The existing Lundeen Parkway from Highway 9 west to 12th Place NE is a two-lane road with 8-foot shoulders. It provides local access to the Parkway Crossing housing development.

The plan also calls for a 180-foot bridge over the Weiser Creek tributary; installing three new traffic signals at Lundeen Parkway and Highway 204, at 10th Street NE and at 15th Street NE; improving the Highway 204 intersections at 91st Avenue NE and Highway 9 with coordinated traffic signals; and improving the Lundeen Parkway intersection by adding turn lanes at Highway 9.

About one-third of an acre of wetlands and 2.84 acres of wetland buffer will be eliminated by the construction project. Approximately three acres of forested vegetation will be cleared.

Any appeal of the announced preferred alternative should be made directly to Snohomish County Superior Court, Auld said. Call the court clerk at 425-388-3466 for information.

For general information on the road project, call Auld at 425-388-3488, ext. 4510.
