Pacific Highway consists of two 11 to 12-feet travel lanes in each direction between Larsen Road and the existing sidewalk about 1,900 lineal feet south. There is no shoulder along the travel lanes. New development at the northwest edge of the city has added 250 new homes and 144-unit apartment complex. Travel from these new units to the schools or downtown La Center is only accessible by vehicular travel. Pedestrian or bicycle travel is not available along this section of highway.

Project Description
A 10-feet wide shared use concrete path is currently being designed between Larsen Drive and the existing sidewalk adjacent to Kays Subdivision. This will be approximately a 1,900 lineal foot wide path, with a bridge installed over the existing creek adjacent to the guardrail. Retaining walls will be installed along the length of the trail to stay within existing city right of way. The path will be lighted with cobra head lights that will light the path and Pacific Highway.
