WSDOT Update SR 9 and SR 204

Posted by Gary O'Rielly on Apr 12, 2017

Last week's program involved two representatives of the Washington State Department of Transportation and a representative for a public relations firm. Joining us for a presentation and update on SR 9 and SR 204 were Jim Brown, Area Project Manager, Tes Abraha, Assistant Project Manager and Coleen Gantz, who handles communications about the project for PRR.

In 2015, the legislature provided funding for WSDOT to improve the SR 9 and SR 204 intersection in Lake Stevens. The project team is currently developing design concepts for the SR 9/SR 204 interchange using input from the community stakeholders and area drivers. The purpose of the project is to alleviate congestion that affects Snohomish County commuters, freight haulers and access to local businesses.

Project benefits include improved mobility involving traffic flow, trip reliability, freight movement and safety. The biggest gain and of interest to the Lake Stevens community will be for improved access to local businesses--primarily Frontier Village. Also, there will be more choices for travel options by improving transportation connections for pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders and drivers.

The WSDOT team was looking for feedback and comments especially involving access to Frontier Village. Construction should begin in 2018-19 and be finished in 2020. After conducting several workshops with stakeholders, the project team developed five design concepts. Click here to see the five designs. The next step is a meeting with the Stakeholders Advisory committee.

On May 11th, WSDOT will host a second open house to take public comment on the design concepts. The Stakeholders Advisory Group continues to meet to review design options. The Stakeholders Advisory Group consist of representatives from the city, county, businesses and regional representatives to review the options.

Thought of the Week - Who Said It?

"Too many people go through life complaining about their problems. I've always believed that if you took one tenth the energy you put into complaining and applied it to solving the problem, you'd be surprised by how well things can work out."
