204th ST SW & College Place Improvements

The City of Lynnwood is in the design phase to pave the gravel segment of 204th St SW from 76th Ave W east to the segment that is currently paved. This project will also construct pedestrian improvements adjacent to the College Place Schools as part of a WSDOT Safe Routes to School Grant.

204th ST SW Paving

Lynnwood City Council has directed staff to move forward on Alternative 2 - Two Way travel, see below. This choice is from public engagement, coordination with staff, the Edmonds School District, and South County Fire. Most of the project was constructed over the summer of 2024. Construction will continue into 2025 with the completion of the traffic signal at 204th St SWand 76th Ave W and other miscellaneous work.

Project Objectives:

Pave the gravel segment of 204th St SW.
Increase public safety
Upgrade street to meet current fire access standards
Relocate College Place Elementary parking lot access to 204th St SW.
Reduce conflicts between pedestrians walking to school and vehicles.
Incorporate an ADA - Compliant pedestrian pathway, completing the present sidewalk.
Improve the intersection at 76th Ave W and 204th St SW for safer vehicle and pedestrian travel.
Add storm drainage per City code.
Discourage illegal parking along 204th St SW.

Pedestrian Improvements

In conjunction with the paving of 204th St SW, pedestrian improvements near the College Place Schools are being designed.

A Pedestrian Crossing will be installed at the intersection of 76th Ave W & 204ht St SW. This crossing will include a full traffic signal with phases for pedestrian-only crossing and upgraded ramps. On 208th St SW, the current mid-block Pedestrian Crossing will be relocated, and a second crossing will be added.
