This $6,335,260 federal Formula Grant award from the Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration (CFDA 20.507 Federal Transit Formula Grants program) will be used by the City of Seattle to establish a new multimodal transportation corridor. The project will implement transit speed and reliability, safety, access, bus stop amenities, and pedestrian improvements along NE 130th St, Roosevelt Way NE, and NE 125th St. Key activities include bike and pedestrian infrastructure, transit access enhancements such as shelters and real-time information signs, and intersection improvements to support the new Route 77 transit pathway. These improvements are intended to create high-quality transit, walking, and biking facilities to access the future NE 130th St light rail station, benefitting commuters, pedestrians, and cyclists in the Seattle area. The grant has an award date of April 21, 2025 and a targeted completion date of March 21, 2027.

Activities

Improve transit access along NE 130TH ST roosevelt way NE and NE 125TH ST including shelters benches real time information signs in-lane stops with protected bike lanes and pedestrian lighting. Make transit and pedestrian signal and pedestrian crossing improvements at intersections along the project extents including a pedestrian signal at roosevelt way NE and 8TH AVE NE. Construct paving improvements to support the new route 77 transit pathway. Make safety improvements to reduce mixing between bikes and buses at bus stops along the corridor.

Expected outcomes

The proposed improvements along this corridor will create high-quality facilities for people using transit walking or biking to access the new e 130TH ST light rail station

Intended beneficiaries

Commuters pedestrians and cyclists in seattle.
