44th Ave W Underpass Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements

The 44^th Ave W Underpass Pedestrian and Bicycle Improvement Project will construct a shared use path connecting the Interurban Trail and Lynnwood’s City Center Transit Station to the Lynnwood area south of I-5. This Project will:

Improve bicycle and pedestrian connection to the Lynnwood City Center.
Improve bicycle and pedestrian connection to the Interurban Trail and Lynnwood City Center Station.
Begin a planned connection from the City Center Station to south Lynnwood, and eventually, Mountlake Terrace.

This project will improve an area that currently has narrow sidewalks, no designated bike amenities, and conflicts for pedestrians and bicyclists due to the current road geometry.

The new shared use path will be located on the east side of 44th Avenue West. The project will include pavement for a 10’ to 12’ wide shared use path, necessary retaining walls, improved drainage, pedestrian scale lighting, and aesthetic treatments to support a year-round facility. The outcome of this project will vastly improve pedestrian and bicycle access to the Lynnwood Transit Station, increasing non-auto access between the station and businesses and residents on the other side of I-5.

Design on this project began in Summer 2023 and will be finalized by early 2026.

Construction is planned for 2026.

This Project has funding from multiple sources, in addition to local funds:
