The Puget Sound Regional Council is seeking public comment on 36 projects recommended for funding in Snohomish County.
Among the projects in Bothell are: Traffic Signal and Intersection Improvement Project in Bothell, 228th Street Southeast and 29th Drive Southeast, $432,000; Pavement Overlay Project at 4th Avenue West, 9th Avenue Southeast and Fitzgerald Road/240th Street Southeast in Bothell, $673,000; and North Creek Trail Section 4 in Bothell, $735,000.

“We hope folks will take a look at how projects were selected for PSRC’s funding,” said PSRC Executive Director Josh Brown. “The projects are the result of a transparent and competitive process. The projects were selected on their merits, including their ability to support the region’s overall strategy to sustain our economy and environment as we grow.”
The projects recommended for funding in Snohomish County are among hundreds of transportation improvements – bridge repairs, new light rail extensions, bus service, pavement preservation, sidewalks and more – that will be underway through 2018 around the Puget Sound region.
PSRC’s Transportation Policy Board released all of the projects for public comment before the region’s Transportation Improvement Program is finalized later this year.
A complete list of projects and more detailed information is available online at psrc.org. Many of the projects can also be viewed geographically on PSRC’s Web based map. For more information, contact Kelly McGourty at (206) 971-3601 or kmcgourty@psrc.org.
The public comment period is scheduled for Sept. 11 through Oct. 23. The PSRC’s Executive Board is scheduled to approve the final 2015-2018 Transportation Improvement Program on October 23.
