Background Summary:
The purpose of this discussion is to provide a briefing to the Council and Public on the Lea Hill Road Corridor Study that was initiated in the fall of 2018 to develop a long-range corridor plan to improve the mobility, capacity, and safety along this critical east-west arterial. The Lea Hill Road Corridor, between Harvey Road/M Street NE and 124th Avenue SE, provides connections to downtown Auburn, the Lea Hill neighborhood, Green River College, Auburn Golf Course, and State Route 18. As the Lea Hill area continues to grow and develop, this corridor will carry even more traffic, creating increased congestion and introduce potential safety concerns, beyond those that are already apparent today. The Lea Hill Road Corridor Study identified potential safety, capacity, and operational improvements along the corridor, and developed a conceptual corridor design and implementation strategy that will direct current and future Lea Hill Corridor investments, as funding for each of the identified concepts becomes available.
