Lake Forest Park has scheduled the construction of a roundabout at the intersection of SR 104 and 40th Pl NE, with work commencing in January 2026 and expected to be completed by April 2027. This project is part of a broader effort to enhance traffic safety and efficiency in the area. In addition, the city will initiate the replacement of the L90 culvert, with construction anticipated for the summer of 2026 or 2027, depending on the design's finalization.
