Project Background

Each year, we pave arterial streets in poor condition to make them safer, smoother, and to extend their useful life. Keeping our transportation system in a good state of repair helps lower the cost of future maintenance. As part of the Levy to Move Seattle and AAC (Arterial and Asphalt and Concrete) Paving Program, the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) is paving 15th Ave W/NW and the Ballard Bridge Deck between W Emerson St to NW 57th St as soon as Summer 2023.  The project is anticipated to take 18 months to be completed. It will restore the street condition of a critical piece of Seattle’s transportation network and contribute to SDOT’s Levy commitment to pave up to 180 lane-miles of arterial streets by 2024.

Community Outreach

Ongoing Engagement

We are committed to working closely with project neighbors to coordinate construction timing and impacts as best as possible and will continue to send updates throughout the design and construction phases over the next two years. Initial outreach has included:

• In-person visits and emails to businesses along the 15^th Ave W/NW corridor to inform them about the project and begin conversations around mitigating potential construction concerns
• Postcards to people who live and work in the area
• Meetings with nearby stakeholders, including neighborhood organizations and members of the industrial and freight communities
• Tabling event for faculty, students, and families at Ballard High School
• Outreach and engagement at Ballard grocery stores
