Fauntleroy Way SW and SW Wildwood Pl Protected Bike Lane

We plan to build Protected Bike Lanes on Fauntleroy Way SW and SW Wildwood Pl as one of our first Fatal Crash Response projects. Before we can start construction, though, we need to perform a what coach test.

What are we doing? 

• We will perform a coach test (with King County Metro buses) to determine that there will be no conflicts between the proposed bike lane configuration and the bus movements along SW Wildwood and Fauntleroy Way SW. 

When are we doing this work? 

• Monday, October 19, 2026 between 10am until 2pm 
  ***We may reschedule this work if there is rain in the weather forecast.
  • You will not be able to park at the Fauntleroy and Wildwood intersection, and certain driveways in the area may be temporarily closed while we perform this test. 

Why? 

• The street has been patched with asphalt and smoothed with a rubber sealant in the larger cracks over the last month. Now that the riding and driving surface is smoother, we need to be certain that buses can travel on the street with how we have designed the bike lanes. After we complete this test, we will share the details of it with you here and via our email updates, and then we can proceed with building the new bike infrastructure.
