Water ditch trail phase 3A

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded a $2,016,561 Formula Grant under the Highway Planning and Construction (CFDA 20.205) program to the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to construct a separated, shared-use trail along South Tacoma Way in Tacoma, Washington. The project includes curb, planter strip, accessible pedestrian signal push buttons, illumination, permanent pedestrian/bicycle counter, driveway approaches, bus pads/illuminated shelters, and other intersection improvements. One eastbound vehicular travel lane on South Tacoma Way will be eliminated to accommodate the shared-use path. The grant will also fund waterline improvements using non-federal funds. This project is part of the larger Water Ditch Trail Phase 3A initiative to enhance multimodal transportation infrastructure and connectivity in the Tacoma area.
