Existing ConditionsLower Pine Street connects the eastern side of the City and the central business district to the Okanogan High School and Middle School. The hilly natural topography of the area directs school children and pedestrians to the bottom of the hill at the intersection of 3rd Avenue and Pine Street. There is currently no sidewalk along Lower Pine Street, leaving a gap in the sidewalk system between 3rd Avenue and the recently completed improvements by the school on 5th Avenue. Also, a portion of Lower Pine Street (from 3rd Avenue to 4th Avenue) is a one way street, without channelization preventing vehicles from entering from the wrong direction. The area is confusing to drivers and pedestrians walking along the edge of the road. This project is located between the recently completed 5th Avenue project, Upper Pine Street project, and the 2015 Pine Street overlay from 1st Avenue to 3rd Avenue. This project will complete this corridor. |

Summary of Improvements
- The proposed project will increase pedestrian and vehicular safety by providing an ADA compliant pedestrian access route, formalizing roadway channelization and pedestrian crossings, providing illumination, and improving signage and delineation to direct drivers through the narrow corridor. Construction of new sidewalk on Lower Pine Street will complete a gap between the central business district towards the area of the City where the middle/high school campus resides.
Description of Improvements
A sidewalk will be added to eliminate the gap in the system between 3rd Avenue and 5th Avenue and to provide a continuous pedestrian route to the Okanogan High School and Middle School. Installation of curbing will better direct traffic to prevent vehicles from entering the wrong way between 3rd Avenue and 4th Avenue. The road will be reconstructed in order to realign the one way section and improve safety at the intersection with 4th Avenue. Full depth reclamation was considered, but based on recent experience on 5th Avenue and Upper Pine Street, it is likely that shallow cobbles will be encountered and that pulverization will not be feasible. Reconstruction will remove the extensive alligator cracking along the roadway and will restore the pavement condition. Storm drainage structures will be installed to collect and convey stormwater, preventing damage to the roadway and flooding of the downstream central business district. A preliminary design layout is included with this application.
