Existing ConditionsCurrently, the Second Street roadway corridor is very wide and intermittently provides for on-street gravel or paved parking. Second Street is part of State Route 903 (SR 903) between Stafford Avenue and Oakes Avenue. SR 903 diverts from Second Street at Oakes Avenue and continues east on First Street through the rest of the City. Combined curb and gutter infrastructure is intermittent along the Second Street corridor eastward from Oakes Avenue, and if present, is not connected to the storm water system along SR 903. Roadway, parking, and walkways are all at-grade, often unseparated adjacent to Second Street, and presently offers little safety. There is no continuity to the sidewalk system and its current state does not ensure unobstructed non-motorized mobility for people of all abilities. At each intersection in the Second Street corridor there are a variety of sidewalk obstacles, missing and poor ADA amenities, erratic roadway lighting, and lack of pedestrian crossing features. |

Summary of Improvements
Description of Improvements
The solution is to construct a multi-use, paved path. Once constructed, the pathway will encourage walking and rolling (bicycles, scooters, wheelchairs, etc.) as alternatives to auto-centric transportation and will meet one of the travel demand management strategies of Cle Elum and encourage travelers to switch from driving to non-motorized modes such as bicycling or walking (2019 Cle Elum Comprehensive Plan, Transportation Element). The concept of constructing a non-motorized pathway on Second Street was vetted through the development of a City approved Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan in 2017. Not only will children walking to school from Cle Elum use the pathway, Cle Elum citizens can engage in healthy options and leave their cars parked for shorter trips. The pathway also connects to larger regional trails and will encourage users of all spectrum of abilities to connect safely to the trails from their residences or workplaces and enhance tourists experiences when visiting the City
