Evergreen Way Revitalization Plan responsibility for land use regulation in all unincorporated areas, until such time that such areas are annexed by a city. The City received a federal Energy Efficiency through Transportation Planning (EETP) grant to add the unincorporated portion of the Evergreen Way / Highway 99 corridor located south of the City limits, between Airport Road and 148th Street SW. This section of Highway 99 is being planned in conjunction with Snohomish County and the City of Mukilteo, with participation from Community Transit and WSDOT. The City anticipates that similar land use, capital improvement and transportation strategies will result from this planning effort. Implementation of the plan concepts for this area will be up to other jurisdictions and agencies. South of 148th Street SW, the City of Lynnwood has adopted a Highway 99 redevelopment plan, which is promoting similar land use and transportation strategies being considered in Everett's plan. The basic strategies proposed to implement the policies of the comprehensive plan through this Evergreen Way Revitalization Plan are summarized in the following table: Table 1.
