Hockinson Elementary School Flashers and Crosswalk

Update - July 2024

The Hockinson Elementary School Flashers and Crosswalk project is coming to completion. Work in the roadway will be paused until materials for illumination arrive. 


The project will add three marked crosswalks with lighting. The project also includes repairing pavement at some crosswalk locations, installing three school speed zone flashing beacons and upgrading signs. One crosswalk will be located at the school's west entrance and the other two will be where Northeast 164th Street meets Northeast 202nd Avenue.

Public Works incorporates resident input when feasible. County projects are designed by professional engineers. We balance community input with other considerations to create the best possible final design. Considerations include legal requirements, environmental impacts, budget and safety. Input among residents, user groups and stakeholders often differs. While we do our best to incorporate resident input, crosswalk locations were determined based on current access points into the school and we are not able incorporate all input or requests. Please contact the project manager (information at the bottom of the page) with questions or comments.
