16TH AVE SW pedestrian

The Federal Highway Administration awarded Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) $526,581 on June 4, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to install pedestrian crossing improvements and traffic calming measures on 16th Avenue SW in Washington. This formula grant supports infrastructure enhancements designed to improve pedestrian safety and reduce vehicle speeds in the project area.

Under the Federal-aid Highway Program, WSDOT—as the state's primary transportation agency—is responsible for administering the project and ensuring compliance with applicable planning, design, environmental, and safety requirements. The pedestrian infrastructure improvements align with the program's eligible activities supporting multimodal transportation network development and transportation safety enhancements on public roadways. Project execution will follow the established state and federal oversight framework, including any required environmental reviews under the National Environmental Policy Act and coordination with the Federal Highway Administration's local division office.
