Beginning in August 2016, the
City will undertake a conceptual design for corridor improvements along
Puyallup Avenue from Portland Avenue to S. C Street (connection to Prairie Line
Trail). The study will address multi-modal uses and complete street
concepts including, but not limited to, landscaping, lighting, sidewalks,
crosswalks, bicycle facilities, and other amenities. As part of the
design process, a traffic study will be conducted addressing existing,
constructed, and 20-year projected conditions to accommodate current and future
growth. There will be an extensive outreach component to the project to
address stakeholder needs including those of the residents, businesses,
transit, and freight communities. Work shall be consistent with the Final
South Downtown Subarea Plan and the City’s Comprehensive Plan, including the
Transportation Master Plan. The project is expected to continue into
early 2017. Project deliverables will be used to apply for additional
design and construction funding.
