Below the surface are some shiny new changes, too. Crews have added new electrical conduit underneath as part of the new bus stop on N 35th St.

New protected bike lanes are also in the works!

By reconstructing sidewalks and curb ramps to be smooth, even, and ADA-accessible, we make it easier for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy Fremont and visit their favorite stores and restaurants.

Two photographs of the same sidewalk. The top photograph has text in the corner that says β€œBEFORE”. The sidewalk has cracks and is uneven. The bottom photograph has text that says β€œAFTER” and shows a smooth, even sidewalk. Two people walk with a small black dog in the bottom photograph.

What do you think of these sidewalk improvements in Fremont?

These before and after photos were taken on N 35th St east of Fremont Ave N as part of the Route 40 project.

It’sΒ happening: Yesler WayΒ to getΒ newΒ bike lane, closing critical gapΒ in Seattle’s bike networkΒ | LEVY DOLLARS AT WORKΒ  - SDOT Blog Seattle's historic Pioneer Square neighborhood is getting new protected bike lanes, closing a key gap in the city's bike network.

SDOT worked closely with Alliance for Pioneer Square to move this long-planned connection forward.

Building this missing piece to the city’s bike network wasn’t simple. The historic nature of Pioneer Square and the age of the infrastructure made adding modern bike and signal improvements complicated, requiring careful design and coordination.

A detailed map of Seattle's Center City bike network, showing existing bike routes in solid green, future connections in dashed green, and routes under construction in dotted orange. A zoomed-in inset highlights the waterfront area near Yesler Way, which runs east-west and connects the waterfront (Alaskan Way) to the downtown core. Key streets like 1st Ave, Alaskan Way, and Yesler Way are labeled, along with landmarks such as Seattle Center and Elliott Bay.

This project fills a gap in Seattle’s City Center Bike Network & creates a much-anticipated, safer connection between Pioneer Square, downtown, and the waterfront.

Construction officially began this week with underground work, and more visible changes on the street will follow in the coming weeks.

To improve access for those biking or scooting on the waterfront, we will be fixing puddles in this area of the bike lane which has come to our attention since this segment was opened.
