Why can Shoreline use the same design for Aurora that was used in Edmonds and Lynnwood?
Although construction on Aurora in Edmonds and Lynnwood (South Snohomish County) was recently completed, the design was approved by state and federal regulatory agencies several years ago. Under today’s regulations, that design would not be approved. New state legislation and new guidelines now require that safety and access management measures (focused left-turn and U-turn lanes) be used on Aurora.
