Location: 161st Avenue NE Extension from Bear Creek Parkway to Redmond Way
Project Manager: Lisa Singer, lsinger@redmond.gov

Description: Extending 161st Avenue NE from the new Bear Creek Parkway north to Redmond Way will complete the connection of 161st through downtown. This will add an additional north/south connection in Redmond’s downtown, thereby providing more choices for drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists.

New traffic signals will be installed at the Bear Creek Parkway/161st intersection and at the Cleveland St/161st intersection. The traffic signal at Redmond Way/161st will be revised to accommodate the new 161st street extension. Sidewalk and bicycle connections will be installed along the new corridor and utility infrastructure such as water, stormwater and street lighting will be added.

Demolition of the Redmond Shopping Center is complete. Construction is anticipated to begin soon and continue through fall 2011.
