Aurora-Licton Springs Healthy Street
Updated November 2025
What's Happening Now?
Sign up to adopt a Healthy Street planter by December 7!
You can now sign up to adopt a Healthy Street planter on the remaining sections of the permanent Healthy Street! The remaining sections include:
- N 100th St between Stone Ave N and College Way N
- Ashworth Ave N between N 100th St and N 92nd St
We plan to begin installing the remaining permanent Healthy Street features next year, including new permanent signs. At many intersections, we’re able to replace standard concrete sign bases with planters if neighbors sign up to maintain them. If you’re interested in maintaining a planter, please fill out this form by December 7.

If you don’t live near a Healthy Street intersection, you can partner with a neighbor to adopt a planter. It’s a great way to build community and beautify your neighborhood! For more information about how to take care of a planter, you can visit our Healthy Street planters webpage, or contact us HealthyStreets@seattle.gov
We will let you know when construction for the remaining sections of the permanent Healthy Street is scheduled. You can sign up for email updates to receive construction and project other updates.

Design Elements
The Aurora Licton-Springs Healthy Street improves safety by:
- Providing more space for people walking and biking
- Limiting vehicle traffic to local access only
- Installing markings on the street, signs, and concrete planters and sign bases at intersections that encourage drivers to slow down and watch for people in the street
- Installing markings on the street and signs at intersections so people know not to park within 20 feet of an intersection
We completed the first phase of the permanent Healthy Street in 2024. This included work on:
- Fremont Ave N from N 100th St to N 87th St
- N 100th St from 1st Ave NW to Linden Ave N
We expect to install the remaining segments of the permanent Healthy Street in 2026. These segments include
- N 100th St between Stone Ave N and College Way N
- Ashworth Ave N between N 100th St and N 92nd St
Future project elements
N 100th St & College Way N
- New two-way protected bike lane on the north side of N 100th St between College Way N and Wallingford Ave N
- Connection to John Lewis Memorial Bridge and Northgate Light Rail Station

- Noise, vibration, dust, and debris
- Construction staging and parking impacts near the work sites
- “No Parking” areas and other parking impacts
- Crosswalk and sidewalk closures, and detours for people walking and biking
