Description

Bothell Multiway Boulevard Phase 1-W involves construction of a local frontage access for businesses along the main arterial roadway and urban improvements that transform Bothell Way NE (Washington State Route 527) into a wider, multi-functional transportation facility. This project in turn is a part of Bothell's Downtown Revitalization Plan, which encourages local business development and growth, and is the first of three phases of work set to be built a few lanes at a time.

This phase includes construction of all of the drainage features that will support the reconstructed arterials, including permeable pavers, bioswales and an underground treatment system called a "treatment gallery." All of these stormwater infrastructure features will treat and manage the water before it leaves the site, and help make a nice pedestrian area away from the busy arterial, State Route 527.
