SE 32nd Street Sidewalk Project

Summary

SE 32^nd Street is a vital route that serves the residents of Sammamish by connecting a main road with nearby schools, parks, and other public facilities. The existing street consists of a two-lane road with narrow shoulders and little refuge for pedestrians due to roadside ditches and gentle side slopes. As such, the current conditions create an unsafe walking route for pedestrians.

The City of Sammamish SE 32^nd Street Sidewalk Project will include the construction of a new 630-foot-long sidewalk, bike lane, and planter strips along the north side of the street, between 241^st Avenue SE to the west, and 244^th Avenue SE to the east. The sidewalk will provide residents with a safe path to nearby facilities, while minimizing the impact on the environment. The project will also include new curb & gutter, driveway entrances, roadway striping, retaining walls, and a storm drainage conveyance system.

This project is part of the City of Sammamish Sidewalk Gap & Non-Motorized Program. Additional program details are provided at the bottom of this page.

Sidewalk Gap & Non-Motorized Program

 The Sidewalk Gap and Non-motorized Program adds sidewalk and non-motorized facilities within the community to foster connectivity and multi-modal connections. The program focuses on smaller projects such as filling gaps and completing the nonmotorized transportation system. Projects within this program are smaller in scale and cost, which allow staff to bundle several projects for efficiency throughout the design and construction phases. The structure of the program, project prioritization, and the lists of projects are described below.

Program Structure

Projects are identified for this program based on requests from the community, staff observation, and transportation planning efforts. Projects qualify for this program if they meet the following criteria:

• The project location is not within the project limits of a larger project on the 2024-2029 TIP (i.e.: a Connection or Corridor Project); and

• The project intent is to provide or enhance pedestrian and/or multi-modal connectivity within the community (typically referred to as “sidewalk gaps”); and

• Estimated project cost is $350,000 or less.

Project Prioritization

Once a project qualifies for the Sidewalk and Non-motorized Program, each project is assigned a priority score utilizing the criteria below. Once a score is assigned, the projects are completed in order beginning with projects that have the highest priority score.
