Surveyors will be on NE 178th starting Thursday

Surveying for the NE 178th Street Phase 2 Roadway Improvements project will begin on Thursday, November 7, 2013. The project includes sidewalk, curb and gutter and other improvements on NE 178th Street between 33rd Avenue NE and Brookside Boulevard NE. It also includes a sidewalk on the east side of 35th Avenue NE from NE 178th Street to the Brookside Elementary parking lot driveway. A bicycle lane will be provided on the north side of NE 178th Street from Brookside to 33rd.

The design phase for this project is fully funded with federal and state grants. The construction phase is partially funded and the City is seeking additional construction funding. It is anticipated that construction will begin in the summer of 2015 if all necessary construction funding has been secured.

Upon completion of surveying, a project base map will be created and preliminary engineering can commence. When the preliminary design layout is complete, the City will invite the public to an open house where project details will be exhibited and comments will be solicited.
