EVERETT 2044 <br />COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 6/17/2025 <br />COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br />TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT <br /> Page 110 <br />• SR 526 Improvements: Widening of Seaway Blvd ramp, bridge widening at Henderson Rd, <br />restriping of the eastbound main line of SR526 to create an additional general-purpose lane and <br />installing ramp metering of eastbound SR 526 on-ramp to northbound I-5. <br />• US-2 Study: Study potential improvements on westbound US 2 structures between I-5 and SR <br />204 <br />WSDOT sets level of service standards for its highway routes of statewide significance and works with <br />regional transportation planning organizations to jointly establish LOS standards for regionally significant <br />state highways. WSDOT’s LOS standards for highway routes segments within Everett are as follows: <br />• I-5: LOS D <br />• SR 526: LOS D <br />• SR 99: LOS D and LOS E Mitigated <br />• SR 527: LOS E-mitigated <br />• SR 529: LOS D and LOS E Mitigated <br />• US-2: LOS D <br />• SR 96: LOS E Mitigated <br />Freight Mobility <br />Everett has preferred freight routes that connect industrial and commercial areas and the Port of <br />Everett to the state and federal highway system. This represents a network of roads that are suitable for <br />freight vehicles moving between cargo and shipping facilities and the key regional highways. <br />The designation of a network of preferred freight routes serves as primary routes for the movement of <br />goods and services. A preferred truck route is a street classification for an arterial street that <br />accommodates significant freight movement through the city, and to and from major freight traffic <br />generators. Some state routes and highways are also designated as preferred truck routes. Everett uses <br />the designation as an important criterion for street design, traffic management decisions, pavement <br />design and repair. <br />Everett has two Priority Freight Routes defined: West Marine View Drive, Pacific Avenue, Rucker Avenue <br />and 41st Street connecting the Port facilities with I-5 to the south, and W Marine View Drive connecting <br />to I-5 to the north. These priority maps are shown on Figure 11. <br />
