County Public Works, plans for 240th SE

Brad Stoll has been in contact with Steve Dickson, Special Projects Manager, Snohomish County Public Works for the road plan information. Here is a copy of Steve’s email to Brad:

"We are in the preliminary stages of design for the 240^th Street SE improvements. We will be widening the road from the Snohomish Woodinville Road to the top of the hill at the west side of the park. The project will widen both the existing narrow lanes and will provide a sidewalk on the north side of the road. A new turn lane will be provided on 240^th Street SE at the signalized intersection with Sno-Wood Road. These improvements will connect to the new roundabout to be constructed at the west side of the park to provide park access and to walkways built with the park.

Public Works is also designing traffic calming measures for 240^th Street SE. The plan is to construct a raised speed table at the intersection with 71^st Drive SE and speed humps for traffic calming west of the intersection and east of the intersection. In addition, we will soon be installing vehicle activated speed signs on 240^thStreet SE and 75^th Avenue SE to address concerns we have heard from neighbors about existing operating speeds on these roads.
