Aurora-Licton Springs Healthy Street
Updated June 4, 2024
What's Happening Now?
Thank you for stopping by!
Bike Everywhere Month is over, and we wanted to thank everyone who stopped by our celebration stations around the city, including one on the Aurora-Licton Springs Healthy Street, to pick up Healthy Streets swag and information about this project.
Permanent Installation Schedule
We will be installing permanent Healthy Street features on the Aurora-Licton Springs Healthy Street over 2024 and 2025! We’ll install permanent features on Fremont Ave N and N 100th St west of Aurora Ave as soon as summer 2024, and on the remaining segments of the Healthy Street in 2025.
To further improve safety for people walking and biking along the Aurora-Licton Springs Healthy Street and discourage cut-through traffic, we will construct additional safety enhancements at the intersection of Fremont Ave N and N 105th St. These enhancements will include installing new medians on the north and south sides with cut-throughs for people biking, restricting vehicle turns from N 105th St onto Fremont Ave N, and maintaining existing left and right turn only restrictions for vehicles on Fremont Ave N at N 105th St. We designed these enhancements to discourage pass-through vehicle traffic along the Healthy Street, improve access to the Interurban Trail, and provide safe space for people walking and biking. To explore all of the new safety enhancements coming to six different intersections along the Aurora-Licton Springs Healthy Street, see the “Design Elements” section below.
Planter Sign-Ups
With installation approaching, we will begin accepting planter requests soon for the segments of the Aurora-Licton Springs Healthy Street on Fremont Ave N and N 100th St west of Aurora Ave! Please sign up for email updates to be notified when the planter sign-up form for this location becomes available. For permanent Healthy Street locations, neighbors can choose to replace the standard concrete sign bases with planters. SDOT will install planters at Healthy Street intersections based on the requests we receive from neighbors (see diagram and image below). Neighbors who request planters are responsible for maintaining the planters after installation. For more information about adopting planters and planter maintenance, visit the Healthy Street Planters webpage.
