Existing ConditionsThe intersection of Stinson Avenue and Rosedale Street is one of the main access points to the downtown area of Gig Harbor's Urban Activity Center (UAC). The existing four-way stop controlled intersection at Rosedale Street/Stinson Avenue is a regional bottleneck with an existing overall intersection LOS of F in the PM peak hour. Significant delays also occur during the AM peak hour, school peaks, seasonal tourist times, and event traffic. Stinson Avenue also provides an alternative arterial route between SR-16 to the Gig Harbor north UAC. When there is WB SR-16 congestion in the PM peak, vehicles exit at Wollochet to get to Gig Harbor north. In this scenario, the NB leg of the intersection often sees queues up to a half a mile long. Existing pedestrian facilities are not ADA compliant and need to be brought into compliance. Intersection capacity improvements at Rosedale Street and Stinson Avenue are necessary to maintain PM peak hour mobility along the Stinson Avenue corridor through 2030 and beyond. |

Summary of Improvements
- Improves safety;
- Relieves congestion;
- Relieves bottleneck;
- Improves vehicle and pedestrian access;
- Removes ADA barriers
Description of Improvements
A single lane roundabout, currently at 95% design, will be constructed at the intersection of Stinson Avenue and Rosedale Street to relieve a bottleneck during peak hours. ADA compliant pedestrian improvements will include sidewalk, pedestrian ramps, rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFBs), and crosswalks. The roundabout will incorparate a fully mountable center island and splitter islands to accommodate truck and bus turning movements. Construction of a roundabout will provide capacity to maintain a PM peak hour LOS A into the long-range horizon year of 2030.
