Lawrence Street is a major route for walking, biking, rolling, and transit in the Uptown Business District, which includes many commercial destinations for residents and visitors alike. The corridor is primary access to SR20 and the entire Uptown neighborhood and historic district. On-street parking serves both sides but is poorly organized. Existing sidewalk and pavement are in poor condition and sidewalk is missing on the south side for 3 blocks creating a barrier to all users.

Project Description
Port Townsend has successfully changed Water Street and Tyler Street with 9.5 foot vehicle lanes and 7 foot parking lanes to allow installation of 6-foot marked bicycle lanes with a 2-foot horizontal door zone against on-street parking on each side of the street. Finallly, pavement rehabilitation will address a huge liability for the new TBD which voters passes a 0.3% sales tax with 80% approval.
