Project Description

The project will enhance safety by installing wider sidewalks with bulb-outs at intersections and on-street parking. Work includes cleaning /patching existing pavement, removal of existing curb, gutter and sidewalk, upgrading ADA ramps and drainage structures, installing new curb, gutter, and ADA ramps in new bulb-outs to reduce crossing length, edge grinding of existing asphalt, and grade correction grinding of non-compliant crosswalks. Work also includes new asphalt overlay, new pavement markings, and relocating or installing signs to city standards. Street lighting systems and site furnishings will be upgraded and added to be consistent with city standards and adjacent recent projects. Park Street and connecting alleys will be converted to one-way only with vehicular traffic to the north and east.

Existing Condition

Ruston is experiencing unprecedented growth within the Point Ruston Development and revitalization within the Pearl District. Improving connections to businesses, restaurants, parks, schools, medical/senior facilities, bus routes and the Vashon Ferry is crucial to support the longevity and well-being of Rustons citizens and economy. Park St is a vital neighborhood collector, connecting tourists and residents to these uses and facilities. Uses that are either adjacent to the project, or within a few blocks, include Point Defiance Park, (zoo, aquarium, Science and Math Institute, and ferry), bus routes, future Promontory Hill Park, Ruston City Hall and Community Center, Police Dept, and a large senior housing community. Future improvements to the Point Defiance Triangle include a hotel, meeting spaces and retail. With a PCR of 45-48, non-ADA compliant 4ft-wide pedestrian facilities, and no pedestrian lighting, Park St is in need of improvement in order to serve its intended purposes.

  • Supports economic development;
  • Extends improvements;
