Lea Hill Road Roundabout Construction
Lea Hill Road Roundabout Construction - Auburn, WA - 25 W Main Street, Auburn, WA 98001
Amount Requested: $750,000
The funding would be used to replace an existing span-wire traffic signal (at the intersection of Lea Hill Road and 104th Ave SE) with a modern, single lane roundabout with pedestrian and bike facilities. This project would efficiently move cars, buses, bikes, and pedestrians to and from Lea Hill neighborhoods, commercial areas, Auburn schools, Green River College, downtown Auburn, and the Green River Valley. This project includes the construction of new pavement, bike facilities, improved transit stops, new and widened sidewalks, street lighting, storm treatment, and other improvements intended to slow vehicles as they approach and travel through the roundabout. This project is an appropriate use of taxpayer funds because this intersection is a key connection for those traveling from the valley to Auburn, and travelers often experience traffic delays and unsafe congestion. This project would improve overall safety for roadway users, support multi-modal transportation, and reduce delays for travelers.
