Planning study news
The State Route 305 High School Road roundabout pre-design is underway. During the pre-design, WSDOT will collect feedback through in-person meetings and online events. The pre-design team will collect data and observe how people use the intersection for all travel modes including pedestrian, bicycle and ferry users.
Purpose
WSDOT periodically evaluates the crash history at all intersections in the state. This helps WSDOT find intersections most in need of improvements. The SR 305 and High School Road intersection’s history of fatal and serious injury collisions placed it on WSDOT’s safety priority programming. A roundabout at this location will reduce crashes and is consistent with other improvements along the SR 305 corridor.
The pre-design study will include a Complete Streets analysis to identify improvements for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, mobility device users and transit riders.
The Complete Street analysis will develop different alternatives for the intersection. As part of this process, WSDOT will meet with the community. The opinions gathered during WSDOT's community engagement efforts will help the agency determine community needs along this corridor.
