Sidewalk Replacement on Main Street between 6th and 7th Streets
Agency: Town of Bucoda | Grant Request: $137,500 |
Match: No match | Total Cost: $137,500 |
Phase: Design & Construction | Timeline: 2022-2025 |
Location: Main Street between 6th & 7th |
Funding Priorities: Safety; Maintenance & Preservation; and Multimodal Efficiency
|
Project Overview
Bucoda's central business area is centered on Main Street. The sidewalk between 6th and 7th Avenue traverses the town's most popular destinations including Liberty Market, Joe's Place, Bucoda's Town Hall and Community Center, and the Post Office. The aging sidewalk is in poor condition. Cracks and irregular surfaces create tripping and fall hazards. This proposal will replace approximately 308 feet of sidewalk, add planter strips, illumination, and improve stormwater conveyance along this well-traveled block. The project will improve public safety, improve the appearance of Main Street, and enhance the core business area's sense of place.

SR 507 and Myers Street SE Crosswalk
Agency: City of Rainier | Grant Request: $137,500 |
Match: $10,206 | Total Cost: $147,706 |
Phase: Design & Construction | Timeline: 2022-2025 |
Location: Intersection of SR507 and Myer Street SE |
Funding Priorities: Safety; Multimodal Efficiency; and Active Transportation
|
Project Overview
The current intersection configuration at Myers Street SE and SR507 does not have pavement markings or warning signs to alert traffic of pedestrian crossings at this intersection. Pedestrians crossing at this location must time their crossing with gaps in the traffic and must climb a berm on the north side of the roadway to access the Yelm-Tenino Trail. Traffic at this intersection is also in a transition area where traffic leaving town is accelerating to 50 MPH and cars entering are decelerating to the posted 30 MPH. This project will increase driver and pedestrian safety by installing two ADA compliant curb ramps, plastic crosswalk markings, Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon’s(RRFB's), and an asphalt path that connects to the Yelm-Tenino Trail. Current development of multifamily housing in the adjacent subdivision will increase both pedestrian and vehicle traffic at this intersection.

North Hodgden Street Improvements
Agency: City of Tenino | Grant Request: $137,500 |
Match: $10,624 | Total Cost: $148,124 |
Phase: Design & Construction | Timeline: 2022-2025 |
Location: Hodgden Street north of Sussex Avenue |
Funding Priorities: Safety; Maintenance & Preservation; Multimodal Efficiency; and Active Transportation
|
Project Overview
The project area, lying between the Post Office and a new Cider Mill, and just north of Tenino City Hall and Fire District #12, is an area of heavy foot traffic. Many people park their cars in this location and then walk to various other points in the downtown area. Since many of Tenino's citizens are elderly, the uneven surfaces are difficult to navigate. This proposal would address the surface condition; lack of sidewalks, curbs, and gutters; lack of drainage; and general appearance of Hodgden Street from the intersection of Sussex Avenue to a point approximately 115 feet north of the intersection. The City will repair the sidewalks along the north side of Sussex Avenue on either side of Hodgden Street for 50 feet in both directions.
