62ND AVE E multimodal

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) was awarded a $450,000 Formula Grant from the Federal Highway Administration (CFDA 20.205 Highway Planning and Construction) on March 22, 2024. The grant will fund a multimodal transportation infrastructure project on 62nd Ave E that includes reduced curb radii, raised crosswalks, new marked crosswalks, pedestrian-scale crossing illumination, rectangular rapid flashing beacons, lane width and number reductions, ADA curb ramps, audible pedestrian signals, bicycle wayfinding signs/markings, bike lanes, sidewalks, and a shared-use path/trail.

Additionally, WSDOT awarded a Federal Grant Sub-Award to the Fife Police Department to deliver infrastructure upgrades such as relocating and constructing on/off ramps, upgrading traffic signals and ADA accessibility, pavement improvements, and other safety enhancements to the local transportation network. The Federal Grant Sub-Award details are not specified, but the overall project aims to improve multimodal accessibility, safety, and connectivity in the 62nd Ave E corridor.
