42nd Avenue Project

Project Overview

Construction on 42nd Avenue includes new street improvements, drainage, curbs, gutters and driveway adjustments. It will also bring new sidewalks and bike facilities to this important residential corridor, as well as undergrounding of the various utility wires along 42nd. The project includes building a new culvert at Gilliam Creek that will make the stream crossing fish passable and improve roadway safety. The project is being paid for by a variety of funds. The City issued bonds to cover the General Fund portion of the project, the bulk of the financing. Surface Water fees collected by the City will pay for the culvert replacement portion of the project, and Seattle City Light and other communication utilities will cover a portion of the costs associated with undergrounding the utilities.
