Open house Dec. 1 for 220th/76 intersection improvements

The City of Edmonds is currently at the 30% design level of the 76th Avenue West at 220th Street SW intersection improvement project.

The public is invited to attend an open house 6-7:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 1, at the Edmonds Public Works Building downstairs cafeteria, 7110 210th St. SW.

The meeting's main project goals are to improve vehicular traffic flows and safety for all active transportation users going through this intersection. Attendees can learn more about this project and provide feedback.

The project will add an eastbound and westbound left turn lane along 220th. Additional improvements consist of wider sidewalks, new traffic signal system, lighting enhancements, and ADA curb ramp upgrades.

The proposed utility improvements consist of stormwater and water line upgrades, with the potential conversion of existing overhead utility lines to underground.
