Neighborhood Traffic Safety Services has constructed several projects in the area to improve traffic safety with more improvements to come. Construction began in June 2019 to build a 6-foot wide sidewalk on the west side of 119th Avenue SE from SE 56th Street to Newport Heights Elementary School, a pedestrian island at the mid-block crosswalk in front of the school and an entry island on the north leg of the intersection of SE 56th Street/119th Avenue SE. This work was completed in late 2019. In November 2020 , three sets of speed cushions to reduce high vehicle speeds were installed on 119th Avenue SE south of Lake Heights Street SE. In March 2023, three additional sets of speed cushions were installed on 119th Avenue SE between SE 48th Street and SE 54th Place. Analysis of this project will take place later in 2023. In Spring 2024, work will begin on new 6-foot wide sidewalk on the north side of SE 54 th Place starting at 119 th Avenue SE and connecting to the existing sidewalk just east of 118 th Avenue SE. The project will also build a 6-foot wide sidewalk on the south side of SE 52 nd Street between 117 th Avenue SE and 119 th Avenue SE. Funding Funding comes from the Neighborhood Safety, Connectivity and Congestion levy , the Neighborhood Sidewalks Program and Neighborhood Traffic Safety Program . The improvements in 2019 cost approximately $540,000. The speed cushions built in 2020 and 2023 cost approximately $170,000. The estimated construction cost of the sidewalk being built in 2023 is $565,000.
