King County considers raising speed limit on a section of Northeast 133rd
Street east of Redmond
The
King County Road Services
Division will hold a public hearing Friday, Feb. 18 at 10 a.m. in
downtown Seattle to hear and record comments on a proposal to raise the
speed limit on a one-mile stretch of Northeast 133rd Street, east
of Redmond.
The division is considering raising the
speed limit from 25 miles per hour to 35 miles per hour on Northeast 133rd
Street between 218th Avenue Northeast and 232nd Avenue
Northeast. A traffic analysis was performed after roadway safety
improvements were completed last summer. After reviewing the results of the
traffic analysis, King County found the current speed limit to be
inconsistent with the area’s neighborhood character.
The hearing will be held in Room 2A of the
King Street Center, which is located at 201 South Jackson Street, Seattle.
Written comments will be accepted through
Friday, Feb. 11, and should be sent to Scott Sawhill, 201 S. Jackson St.,
MS: KSC-TR-0222, Seattle, WA, 98104-3856. Comments can also be faxed to
(206) 296-0176, or emailed to: scott.sawhill@metrokc.gov. For more
information, call the Traffic Engineering Section at (206) 263-6134.
