Existing ConditionsThis project is targeted at addressing a section of the City of Hoquiams pedestrian and bicycle network. A significant accident occurred with a motorist and cyclist near the limits of this project in the last year. Additionally, safer routes to the nearby Emerson Elementary School have been desired for some time by residents of the city. These motives have prompted the design of this project for the improved bicycle and pedestrian facilities to provide safer access to the school. Furthermore, the proposed improvements inhibit the possibility for future accidents with cyclist, motorist, and pedestrian traffic. |

Description of Improvements
This project includes planning, design, permitting and development of Plans, Specifications and Estimate (PSE) for the improvements. The project evaluates pedestrian and bicycle facilities along US 101 and SR 109 from Emerson Elementary School on SR109 to the west end of 6th Street bridge at the intersection of US 101. Public outreach will be conducted to determine the most appropriate location for pedestrian crossings and the proposed combined-use facility location. The project will include evaluation of intersection improvements at 6th Street and US 101, roadway channelization and signing revisions, installation of pedestrian crossings and traffic islands at multiple locations, construction of curb extensions, minor storm water improvements existing traffic signal modifications and installation of a new rapid rectangular flashing beacon (RRFB) pedestrian signal.
