King County hosts open house on plans to improve SW 98th Street in White Center

King County is asking for input on how to make Southwest 98th Street more inviting for pedestrians and bicycles between the White Center business district and the new Greenbridge housing area.

A drop-in open house will be hosted by the King County Road Services Division on Tuesday, Jan. 9 from 7-9 p.m. at White Center Heights Elementary School, 10015 Sixth Ave. SW, Seattle. People can stop by to check out ideas for corridor improvements and share their own ideas.

The county has received state funding to design improvements along Southwest 98th Street that could include sidewalks and other enhancements to improve pedestrian safety, and possibly a new bike/pedestrian trail through the wetlands on the west side of Greenbridge.

For more information about the meeting, contact Marnie McGrath with the King County Department of Transportation by phone at (206) 684-1154 or by email.
