The public works project is located along SE 172nd St from 122nd Ave SE to 127th Ave SE (roughly 1,500 linear feet of roadway); along 122nd Ave SE, 123rd Ave SE, 124th Ave SE, and 125th Ave SE from SE 172nd St to SE 169th Pl for approximately half a block (600 linear feet of roadway each street). The project consists of installing new conveyance system and green infrastructure to collect and treat stormwater runoff from approximately 2 acres of pollution-generating hard surface. It is estimated that approximately 6,020 cubic yards (CY) of excavation and approximately 5,765 CY of fill would be required to complete the project. This project would help restore water quality within the City of Renton and downstream to Soos Creek, the Green River, and Puget Sound. The project area is currently used for residential street traffic in the Benson Community Planning Area, east of Cascade Village. No critical areas are mapped on the project site. Project construction is estimated to begin on November 1, 2024 and end on October 31, 2025.
