Design phase
Updated: Nov. 15, 2023
The primary reason for crashes at this intersection is from failure to yield to oncoming traffic. To improve safety in this area, traffic signals will be installed at the intersection of SE 79th Place and SE Johnson Creek Blvd.
The project will also add sidewalks, and install ADA-compliant curb ramps at intersections and a raised median on Johnson Creek Blvd. from SE 79th Place to several hundred feet west to allow right-in and right-out only movements from both sides of the road.
Why
To provide a safer environment for all travelers by restricting turn options onto Johnson Creek Blvd and installing a signal for pedestrians to cross Johnson Creek Blvd.
