Lake Washington Boulevard Renovations

Fall 2023

Thank you for your interest in the Lake Washington Boulevard Renovations Project. Currently, the project is in the Design Development phase. During this phase, Seattle Parks and Recreation and the Seattle Department of Transportation are collaborating on synthesizing community feedback and utilizing recently collected traffic data to create design concepts for improvements that will enhance safety, calm traffic, and improve access on Lake Washington Boulevard from Mount Baker Beach to Seward Park.  

Stay tuned for upcoming engagement opportunities to provide your feedback on the proposed design concepts. We anticipate having preliminary design concepts ready to share with the public to receive feedback on later this winter 2024.

In partnership with the Seattle Department of Transportation and the community, Seattle Parks and Recreation is leading and managing the implementation of improvements to Lake Washington Boulevard to help promote pedestrian and bicycle use and increase safety for everyone who visits and travels along Lake Washington Boulevard. 

Informed by the Short-Term Recommendations in the Lake Washington Boulevard Visioning Process and Recommendations Report created by the Lake Washington Blvd Task Force, the Lake Washington Boulevard Renovations Project aims to improve sidewalks and pedestrian paths to be ADA-compliant and increase safety by adding stop signs, speed humps, raised crosswalks, and other traffic calming infrastructure. In this project phase, Seattle Parks and Recreation will not be installing a dedicated bike lane.

It is important for us to meet the community where they are. If you host, coordinate, or attend a standing community organization or neighborhood association meeting, let us know and we can come to you. The project team would be more than happy to attend and present at a community/neighborhood organization-hosted event to talk about the Lake Washington Blvd Renovations project and gather feedback.

Please send an email to Jordan.Hoy@seattle.gov to invite the project team to your community-hosted meeting.
