drawing of the new right turn lane into Juanita High School from NE 132nd Street

The Project adds an eastbound right turn lane to increase vehicle capacity during the school hours and to reduce delays eastbound along NE 132nd Street.

It also upgrades luminaries and signal poles, ITS (Intelligent Transportation System), signal channelization, ADA ramps, crosswalks, pedestrian signalization, and the eastbound bike lane with green MMA safety markings to improve non-motorized safety.

The project supports the Council goals of Inclusive Communities, Community Safety, and Balanced Transportation.

Updates

(Sept 1)  -- The availability of materials essential to begin construction on the new right turn lane to Juanita High School Access Road from NE 132nd Street have delayed the start of construction significantly.  We have explored the possibility of the substitution of materials or soliciting different suppliers for an earlier delivery date, but those attempts have been unsuccessful.  At this point, we expect construction to begin in early 2023, however the exact starting date has not been determined and is dependent on weather conditions due to the nature of the work.

(August 1) -- Supply chain delays have forced the postponement of this project until the required items to begin construction have been secured.  Work is expected to begin early September, but the contractor may only implement traffic control measures between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.  The City is working with the Lake Washington School District to message the project out to the school community. 

(Apr. 2022) -- This project is heading to Kirkland City Council on May 3, 2022 for award of the construction contract(PDF, 1MB).  Work is expected to begin once school recesses for summer.
