42nd Ave W Project

42nd-Ave-New-Vicinity-Map-with-Concept-Note

The City of Lynnwood is creating a vibrant and dynamic City Center that provides residents, employees, and visitors alike with new opportunities to live, work, shop, and play. The City Center’s core is the proposed 42nd Avenue West corridor. This future street will provide access and connectivity to future high-rise development and multi-modal transportation, access management and traffic calming - all part of a Complete Street corridor representing the vision of City Center.

The 42nd Avenue West project will complete a new street in the heart of Lynnwood’s Regional Growth Center and will include:

Construction of the new roadway will be built in separate segments:
- Segment 1 – Alderwood Mall Blvd to 196th St SW
- Segment 2 – 196th Street SW to 194th Street SW
The Segment-1 cross section includes two travel lanes, bicycle sharrows, on-street parking on both sides of the street, wide sidewalks, lighting, streetscaping and urban design features.
Infrastructure improvements include sidewalk, curb, gutter, landscaping, hardscaping, illumination, traﬃc signals, retaining walls, utility improvements, channelization and signing.

For the past 2.5 years the project progress slowed to complete required environmental documentation for federal funding. With the Section 4(f) evaluation now complete, the environmental documentation is nearing completion. An updated project schedule will be coming soon.
