Project description

King County is proposing to build a consolidated road maintenance facility near Ravensdale, on part of a 617-acre property owned by the county east of 292nd Avenue SE and north of SE Kent-Kangley Road. The facility will serve as the base of operations for maintaining, repairing and providing emergency storm response to the County's roads and bridges located throughout the southeast region of King County (south of I-90). The King County Shooting Sports Park site is in the northeast corner of this property.

Why is King County doing this project?

This project would allow King County to consolidate two aging maintenance facilities (located near Summit and Black Diamond) with a more efficient and environmentally responsible operation. The proposed facility is needed to ensure that area roads continue to receive critical maintenance, repairs, snow and ice removal, storm and flood response, and other vital services well into the future.

 
Status as of November 19, 2009

King County has completed basic programming to determine the needs of the proposed facility and is beginning schematic design. As part of the schematic design process, different areas within the property are being evaluated for placement of the facility, and different layouts are being developed and evaluated. Public outreach activities are ongoing with this process.

 

How does the CIP work?

The Road Services Division Capital Improvement Program (CIP) contains all design, construction and studies for improvements on roads, bridges or transportation facilities in unincorporated areas in King County. We have a glossary to help explain our terms and jargon.
