Sylvester street safety

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) was awarded a $4,199,900 Formula Grant from the Federal Highway Administration (CFDA 20.205 - Highway Planning and Construction) on November 16, 2023. This grant will fund the "Sylvester Street Safety" project, which involves implementing a road diet by converting a four-lane undivided roadway segment into a three-lane segment. This will allow for the addition of bicycle and pedestrian facilities, including a marked crosswalk, rectangular rapid flashing beacons, ADA curb ramp retrofits, an audible pedestrian signal, standard bike lanes, sidewalk with curb, and pedestrian countdown signals.

The City of Pasco, a U.S. local government entity, received a sub-award of $693,000 for this project to carry out the infrastructure improvements within its jurisdiction. This sub-grant will support the city's efforts to enhance transportation safety and accessibility for all users through the Sylvester Street project.
