Mark Twain Elementary students walking to school might experience a safer route along 126th Ave NE when they head to school next week.

As part of the School Walk Route Enhancements project, city road contractors finished construction of a sidewalk on the west side of 126th between NE 85th Street and NE 90th Street. Connecting the sidewalk from 90th Way up to 95th Street is anticipated for the summer of 2018.

The city’s capital improvement program is also in the process of designing other school walk routes to be completed in the next two years.
