Looking north at 16th Avenue SW and SW 107th Street, there is new fresh and smooth pavement on the road. Crews will return in January 2026 to add additional pedestrian and bicycle safety improvements on 16th Avenue SW between SW 100th and 107th Streets.

The final phase of the Pedestrian Safety Improvements and Traffic Calming Project on 16th Avenue SW in White Center will begin on Monday.
The work will take place between SW 100th Street and SW 107th Street, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. It will require occasional weekday lane restrictions through late May.
The final phase of this project includes:
- Adding a bike lane in each direction: Crews have already added a center turn lane and one traveling lane in each direction.
- Building curb extensions at SW 104th and SW 106th streets to make it safer for people to cross the road.
- Adding new signs and other safety features between SW 100th and SW 107th streets.
- Adding more parking spaces: The number of spots will go up from 43 to 46.
The work is expected to begin on the west side of 16th Avenue SW and SW 104th and SW 106th Streets. Traffic will be flagged around the work zone when necessary, and emergency vehicles will have access through the work zone.
The work marks the final phase of a much-needed refresh of 16th Avenue SW that began last year.
