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

King County is hosting an open house to update the public on how the county and its partners plan to make Southwest 98th Street more inviting for pedestrians and bicycles between the White Center business district and the new Greenbridge housing area.

The King County Road Services Division will host a drop-in open house on Tuesday, March 27, 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 give feedback. Both Spanish and Vietnamese interpreters will be available at the open house

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 Barbara de Michele with the King County Department of Transportation by phone at (206) 263-3792 or by email.
