Existing Conditions

The community needs safe pedestrian walkways and streets. Currently pedestrians along McKinley Street walk on the narrow travel lane. The pavement has deteriorated to a series of patches. There is a need to control stormwater runoff, there are not enough storm drainage facilities which causes ponding and muddy shoulders that impact parking and walkability. Parking is haphazard with vehicles occasionally blocking a traffic lane.

Description of Improvements

This project will complete a gap of standard width pavement and pedestrian facilitates along McKinley Street with recent improvements along Spilman Ave to connect to Entwistle Street, the King County Snoqualmie Valley Trail, Fred Hockert Park, and facilitate access to the central business district and schools. The project scope coincides with improvements being made along Tolt Avenue and bring cohesion to the existing network of roadways and pedestrian facilities in Carnation. Stormwater runoff will drain into catch basins, eliminating ponding. The project will also prove asphalt gravel parking lanes.
