Status: Completed March 2023

Construction reached substantial completion in April 2021. However, the project officially completed in March 2023 following the completion of all outstanding punch list items.

Overview of Roadway and Intersection Improvements

This project reconstructed the intersection of Westminster Way N and N 155th Street to provide a safer intersection for all users and to support redevelopment of the Shoreline Place Community Renewal Area (CRA) and adjacent properties. The project added a new traffic signal, new lane configuration, new pedestrian facilities and utility infrastructure. We expect an increased number of pedestrians and bicyclists in this area and the improved intersection will help everyone move through safely. The improved intersection also enhances the flow of traffic and support projected traffic volumes.

Project Scope:

  • New traffic signal
  • Revised intersection geometry and lane configuration
  • New asphalt roadway surface
  • New pedestrian facilities (sidewalks, curb ramps, crosswalks)
  • New roadway illumination system
  • New landscaping
  • New storm drain system
  • New sanitary sewer line 
  • Extension of existing water main 
  • New water service connections to existing water main 
  • Other utility work (Joint Utility Trench work)

Goals Addressed:

  • Safety and mobility of pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers
  • Provide economic development potential
  • Enhance the livability and walkability of adjacent neighborhoods and properties, including the Shoreline Place CRA

Project History

In 2012, Shoreline City Council designated a 70-acre area around the Sears, Central Market, and Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT) offices as the Aurora Square CRA. By designating the CRA, Council established that economic renewal is in the public interest and that City resources are appropriately utilized to encourage economic renewal. Council took the next step in the CRA process when it adopted a CRA Renewal Plan (2013) to guide the City’s renewal efforts. The Aurora Square CRA Renewal Plan is a conceptual master planning document that identifies several City-initiated projects that are designed to make current businesses function better and to prepare for redevelopment of CRA properties. The plan included 10 specific projects.

“Transform Westminster” was the first project mentioned in the CRA project list. The vision for this project provided the concept to move forward with the City’s roadway and intersection improvements project.
