NE 36th Street Bridge
Location: SR 520 and NE 36th/31st Streets
Schedule: Completion anticipated winter 2010

Project Description: The 36th Street Bridge will provide a key connection across SR 520 for the Overlake neighborhood. The project will create an additional connection between the two major north-south arterials through the area: 148th Ave. NE and 156th Ave. NE. This connection will improve traffic circulation and mobility and help alleviate congestion currently experienced on both the 148th Ave. NE and the NE 40th St. interchanges. With increased development of the Overlake area, including a mix of high-density housing, retail and commercial space, the need for this alternate freeway crossing is critical.

The bridge will provide improved pedestrian and bike connections across SR 520 and include connections to the SR 520 Trail.  By providing an additional link across SR 520 the project is expected to significantly reduce the number of vehicle miles travelled per year for the entire Overlake area.

Project Description: The Bear Creek Parkway Extension is a significant component of the vision for Downtown Redmond.  Project features including on-street parking, 14-foot wide sidewalks, street trees, pedestrian-scale lighting and a pedestrian plaza will create an environment that supports and encourages pedestrians, bicyclists and transit.
The parkway extension provides an additional street connection through downtown Redmond.  It will improve transit connections and allow for better access to the open space in the downtown area.  Redmond Way and Cleveland Street will better serve more uses, including transit, bicycle and pedestrian traffic.  Stronger connections will also support the economic vitality of Redmond's downtown.
