N 122nd St Walkway
Updated: September 10, 2024
What's happening now?
We’re happy to announce that the construction of the new walkway on the north side of N 122nd Street is expected to begin on Tuesday, September 10, and will last approximately one month.
Here’s what you need to know:
- Typical work hours are from 7 AM to 5 PM.
- Expect noise, dust, vibrations, and some equipment staging during construction hours.
- Parking will not be available on the north side of the street during and after construction.
- We’ll need to trim bushes on two properties along the block. If you are affected, you should have already received a notice.
Project Overview
N 122nd St between Corliss Ave N and 1st Ave NE is a residential street in the Haller Lake neighborhood. The street has no sidewalks, but is a route used by students to access Northgate Elementary to the south via 1st Ave NE. The project will include the following improvements:
- New asphalt walkway and planting strip on the north side of N 122nd St between Corliss Ave N and 1st Ave NE
- New curb ramps at N 122nd St and 1st Ave NE
- Pair of speed cushions on N 122nd St to encourage slower vehicle speeds
We updated the design to place the walkway on the north side of the street to avoid impacts like tree removal, drainage modifications, and mailbox relocations on the south side. The north side also connects directly to the existing walkway west of Corliss Ave N. Additionally, we’ll add speed cushions to encourage slower vehicle speeds.
This project will be coordinated with a planned sidewalk on the east side of 1st Ave NE.
Design
Schedule
The NSF program runs on 3-year cycles to select, design, and build projects. Project selection for Cycle 3 was in 2022, design occurred in 2023, and construction is anticipated in 2024.

Project Background
This is one of nine projects requested by community and selected by the Levy to Move Seattle Oversight Committee for the 2022-2024 cycle of the Neighborhood Street Fund.
Neighborhood Street Fund is a city program, running on 3-year cycles, that enables neighbors to propose and help prioritize transportation-related projects that are then built by the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT).
For the 2022-2024 cycle, we made changes to the typical NSF process. Instead of calling for new ideas, we revisited the large pool of unselected 2019 applications for projects located in geographic equity areas. Project design is underway and construction will occur in 2024.
