Why is the Aurora Corridor Project necessary?
According to the Washington State Department of Transportation, Shoreline’s three-mile section of Aurora is one of the most dangerous stretches of road in the entire state — both for pedestrians and vehicles. Between 1992 and 1996, 42 pedestrians were struck by vehicles on Aurora within Shoreline city limits and 38 percent of those accidents were fatal or disabling (compared to the statewide average of 12 to 15 percent). Aurora averages one traffic fatality per year.
