COMING SOON: Construction will begin for new sidewalks & speed humps on NE 50th St.

Construction will begin as early as February 25^th or as late as March 4^th and when it does, NE 50^th St will be open to local traffic only until construction completes in May of this year. This project is a result of significant neighborhood support to make NE 50^th St more comfortable and walkable for pedestrians.

Here’s what you can expect:

Project Outcome

To provide a more comfortable and separate space for people walking on NE 50^th St, we’re installing new curbed sidewalks on the south side of the street between 30^th and 33^rd avenues NE, with curb ramps at each corner. Five speed humps will also be constructed throughout NE 50^th St to reduce driving speeds and make it more walkable.

Schedule

Construction will begin late February, early March 2019.

• Crews will work between 7 AM and 5 PM on weekdays.

Construction will be complete and NE 50^th St will be open again by the end of May 2019.

The NE 50^th St sidewalk project is weather-dependent, and the project schedule is subject to change.

Closure

NE 50^th St will be closed, except to residents and local businesses on NE 50^th St. Parking will not be allowed on NE 50^th St during construction, and temporary driveway closures will occur when work is happening next to or in front of driveways.

Adjacent streets, such as 30^th Ave NE, and the residential streets, such as University View Place NE, will be open during project construction.

Noise

Expect loud noise, dust, and typical construction equipment while crews are working.
