The Mountlake Terrace Freeway “Flyer” Station, a Sound Transit project, final design is completed and construction is scheduled to begin in spring 2009. This project will provide a freeway “flyer“ station in the I-5 median north of 236th Street Southwest allowing buses easy on-off access and includes a pedestrian bridge that connects over the freeway to the new Mountlake Terrace Transit Center.

The new station will allow ST Express buses to serve the new Mountlake Terrace Transit Center and will increase bus speed and schedule reliability while maintaining convenient customer access to the community.

Upcoming Construction

230th Street SW Reconstruction Project
The reconstruction will include bike lanes, sidewalks on both sides, and parking lanes.  The improvements include sidewalk ramps, drainage improvements, a new water main, and a revised vertical street profile to improve sight distance at 61st. Construction is scheduled to begin in March.

222nd Street Sidewalk Connection at Jack Long Park
The project will complete the sidewalk on the north side of 222nd Street SW between 58th and 60th Avenues W. The project includes sidewalk ramps and drainage improvements for the intersection of 222nd and 60th.  Here the new sidewalk passes the frontage of Jack Long Park, a stairway will be constructed up a steep grassy slope to the park’s south entrance.  Construction is planned to begin in spring.

East Side Water System Water Improvements
A new 12” diameter main will be installed in 228th Street SW between 39th and 44th, in Cedar Way from 228th to entrance to the 23400 block, and in 222nd Street between 39th and 44th to increase the available fire flow in the area.  Construction begins in late spring.

214th & 44th Traffic Signal
The new signal will enhance safety and increase capacity of 44th Avenue West and 214th Street SW. The project includes interconnecting the new signal with the existing signals at 212th Street SW and 217th Street SW so all three will operate in coordination. Construction is planned for spring and summer.
