The project also includes roundabouts located at Mill Valley Road, Burt Street and North Mill Road intersections. A new, 10-foot-wide trail will be constructed to the east and new sidewalks will be built on the west side of 108th Street, connecting to Horizon and Lee Valley parks. Three new protected pedestrian crossings will generally be located between Nicholas Street and Franklin Street. Multiple bus stops, intersection lighting and new storm sewer will be located throughout the project area.

108th Street Construction Phasing
This project is expected to be built in four phases beginning in spring 2022 and completed in fall 2023. This phasing and timeline have been updated since the last public meeting in February 2021.
During construction, access to residential and business properties will be maintained at all times but may be limited depending on construction activities. Notification to adjacent properties will be provided prior to the beginning of each phase of construction. Expect to see various utility relocations occurring both prior to and during the presented phasing.
