Existing Conditions

Part 1: The Sequim Avenue segment is a major thoroughfare with multiple gaps in facilities and safe driveway crossings for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorized scooter users coming from the N-NE commercial/residential area into the urban activity center, Olympic Discovery Trail (with tens of thousands of diverse users each year), and school zone for the 4-school campus on the north side of downtown Sequim. (There is a blank leg on the Sequim School District walk-route map to the NE of campus because this part of N. Sequim Avenue doesn’t meet official “walk area goals and guidelines”.) Part 2, The Roundabout intersection has an outdated and problematic roundabout at the northern project limit/ commercial center where N. Sequim Avenue meets a main arterial, Old Olympic Hwy./ Port Williams Road, with no crossings at 3 of 4 legs, no islands, no bicycling facilities, poor visibility, and poor markings/signage.

Description of Improvements

This project has been on the City's CIP for several years. Part 1: The project along west side N. Sequim Avenue completes multimodal connection between key community facilities described above with 3,000 feet of continuous sidewalk 6 to 7.5-ft wide, planter strip and trees, illumination, roadway reconfiguration/ restriping for 6-ft bike lanes and 11-ft vehicle lanes, and connections to existing drainage facilities. Part 2: The Roundabout retrofit provides four pedestrian crossings with splitter islands, ADA ramps and good signage; chicanes; a mountable raised truck apron to reduce vehicle speeds and cut-throughs; and bike exit ramps to the sidewalk.
