Rainier Vista
Project Overview
We’re making improvements on 29th Ave S and nearby streets in Rainier Vista to make it safer and more comfortable for people to walk, bike, and roll in the neighborhood. These upgrades were requested by community through previous Home Zone outreach.
This project is being built as part of the Neighborhood-Initiated Safety Partnership Program, which works with the highest need communities to design and build safety improvements. We expect construction to begin in late 2026.
Project elements include:
- Three new speed humps on 29th Ave S between S Snoqualime St and S Nevada St
- One speed hump on S Snoqualime St between MLK Jr Way S and 29th Ave S
- One speed hump on S Genesse St between MLK Jr Way S and 29th Ave S
- One speed hump on S Nevada St between MLK Jr Way S and 29th Ave S
- A new marked crosswalk at the intersection of 29th Ave S and S Columbian Way
- Two new pedestrian islands at the intersection of 29th Ave S and S Columbian Way
- Refresh pavement markings at the intersection of 29th Ave S and S Columbian Way
- Trim vegetation at the intersection of 29th Ave S and S Columbian Way
