Through the 2017 Downtown Strategy planning process, the public asked for improvements to major streets downtown which would slow vehicle traffic and improve the pedestrain experience. Franklin Street is in the core of the downtown, and leads to the Olympia Transit Center. 4th and State Avenues are major through-town arterials. This project will significantly improve the safety and comfort of people walking through the intersections of 4th Avenue and Franklin Street and State Avenue and Franklin Street.

Project Description
This project will construct bulb-outs on the four corners of 4th Avenue and Franklin Street, and the southeast and southwest corners of State Avenue and Franklin Street. While not part of this grant request, this work is proposed to be done in conjunction with sidewalk and street tree replacement on the four block faces of Franklin Street between State and 5th Avenues. Art and urban design features will be part of the sidewalk replacement. Combined with the bulb-outs, these improvements will create a safe and inviting place to walk, and help set the stage for future public and private investments in more walkable downtown streets.
