SR 99 Corridor (112th St SW to 148th St SW) - (#ROTRA4112)

July 14, 2011: Public Meeting Summary, 6/22/11

On June 22, 2011 a public meeting was held to present preliminary ideas for the future of the State Route 99 (SR99) corridor through unincorporated Snohomish County (112th St SW to 148th St SW) and to ask area residents and business owners for ideas and comments. Representatives from local government and transit agencies participated in the discussion with citizens. 

SR99 is the major north-south arterial through the west side of Snohomish County from the King-Snohomish County line to the City of Everett, where it becomes Evergreen Way. Discussions are occurring to plan the future of the arterial as a multi-modal corridor. Participating in the process are Snohomish County and the cities of Mukilteo, Everett, Lynnwood, Edmonds, and Community Transit in coordination with Washington State Department of Transportation and citizens.  

Project Goals and Objectives

• Significantly improve the performance of the corridor as an economic engine for the community that provides enhanced services, employment opportunities and improved property values.
  
• Enhance the livability of neighborhoods adjacent to SR99
  
• Improve the walkability, pedestrian comfort and aesthetics of
  the corridor  
  
• Maximize the potential for redevelopment created by Swift bus rapid transit service (BRT)   

Vision

Achieving these overarching goals will require changes along portions of the corridor while supporting existing activities along other portions. The approach taken in the planning is to develop mixed-use "nodes" around the Swift bus stops. The nodes will be generally characterized by a mix of higher intensity uses (including multifamily residences and services) in a pedestrian oriented setting and will:

• Provide more convenient access to transit and increase transit ridership, which will reduce vehicle miles travelled (VMT), vehicle
  exhaust emissions and green house gas (GHG) production
  
• Enhance the quality of surrounding residential neighborhoods and
  increase local commercial and community services
  
• Increase the local market for new and existing businesses
  
• Spur business and land use redevelopment
