Greenwood Ave. N Repaving and Sidewalks Project 2019-2020

Seattle Department of Transportation is working to repave Greenwood Ave N between N 137th and N 145th streets, as well as adding sidewalks, curbs, and parking strips where they don’t presently exist. Other improvements will include Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant curb ramps at each intersection in the project area, pedestrian signal improvements at N 145th St, and a new traffic signal at N 137th St. These improvements will help achieve Seattle’s Vision Zero goal to end all traffic deaths and serious injuries by 2030.

The first phase of the project was completed in 2018 and installed a new sidewalk, planting strip, curb, and gutter on the east side of Greenwood Ave N. Crews also installed a new pedestrian-activated traffic signal at N 137th St.

The second phase of the project, currently underway, will construct a new sidewalk, planting strip, curb and gutter on the west side of Greenwood Ave N between N 136th and N 145th streets. After the sidewalk work is complete, crews will return in spring 2020 to pave the entire roadway on Greenwood.

Construction is underway on the west side of Greenwood Ave N. Early activities will include utility and drainage work in the right lane of southbound Greenwood Ave N, between N 136th and N 143rd Streets. As part of this work, parking lanes on both the east and west sides of Greenwood Ave N will be closed and traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction. These closures will be in place around the clock, until later this fall.
