Aurora Ave N and N 83rd St Mobility Improvements
March 30, 2020
What's happening now?
As soon as March 30, construction will begin for the crossing improvements at Aurora Ave N and N 83rd St. These improvements include: a pedestrian traffic signal, realigning the intersection, building extended curbs, and a new crosswalk along the north side of the intersection. This completed work will improve safety for everyone using the intersection of Aurora Ave N, Green Lake Dr N, and N 83rd St.
What to expect during construction
- Work lasting approximately two weeks
- Work hours between 7AM and 3:30PM, Monday through Friday
- Typical construction noise, dust, and vibrations
- Temporary parking restrictions
- Temporary pedestrian and bike detours
- Access to business and homes will be maintained at all times
Project Overview
The new crossing improvements to expect once the project is complete are:
- Pedestrian traffic signal
- Realigning the intersection
- Adding extended curb bulbs
- Adding a new crosswalk on the north side of the 83rd and Aurora intersection
Traffic revisions include: The slip lane for right turns onto Aurora from 83rd will be removed, and vehicles will exit to Green Lake Dr N. N 83rd St between Aurora and Stone will remain a two-way street but drivers heading northwest on Green Lake will not be able to turn right onto 83rd.
Benefits
