Project Description
Snohomish County is proposing to construct a mini-roundabout at the intersection of 116th St SE and 56th Ave SE to improve sight distances, traffic management, and pedestrian safety. The existing roadway grades, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, and planter strips will be adjusted to accommodate the roundabout.
Ground disturbance associated with the project will extend from the intersection approximately 250 feet along the west leg of 116th Street SE and 125 feet along its east leg, and 100 feet along the south leg of 56th Avenue SE, and 150 feet along its north leg. Utility lines and catch basins will be adjusted to meet the altered grade of the intersection.
