Welcome to the Green Lake and Wallingford Paving & Multi-Modal Improvements project online open house!

In summer 2019, the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) began work to repave over 6 miles of arterial streets and update lane layouts in the Green Lake and Wallingford communities. This project will help to create safer places for everyone, whether you're walking, biking, taking transit, or driving. Paving projects create opportunities to update the street design, which can improve safety and move people and goods more efficiently in a growing Seattle. Construction is expected to be complete in 2021. Read on to learn more about what to expect during construction.

What's happening now?

As of May 28, we have completed asphalt paving on N 50th St! We have placed temporary stripes on the road and will return in late June to paint the finals stripes. On Monday, June 8 and Tuesday, June 9, we plan to pave N 40th St from Stone Way N to Latona Ave NE during daytime working hours, from 7 AM – 7 PM.
