Capital Projects

The design stage of the Noll Road Roundabout project is complete. The project will go out to add on May18, 2012 and have a bid opening of June 11, 2012. The proect is scheduled to begin on June 14, 2012 and be completed in early September.

The Preliminary design of the Sixth Avenue Improvements is currently underway. Several public meetings were held in the spring of 2012 where the project goals were identified. The Sixth Avenue Improvements will protect Liberty Bay water quality by treating stormwater runoff from 6th Avenue, Hostmark Street and Lincoln Road. Additionally, the project will improve pedestrian and bicycle safety by enhancing sidewalks, crosswalks and bike areas.

The City is currently installing new crosswalks and stop bars at the 3 way stop at 4th and Viewmont. Appropriate ADA ramps, sidewalk and drainage improvements will also be constructed. The improvements are intended to increase pedestrian safety and visibility.

In late 2009, a landslide occurred on Fjord Drive that destabilized the road and forced the shutdown of the southbound lane to traffic.  The City received a federal grant in addition to City funds to repair the slide.

A soil nail retaining wall was installed to stabilize the bank, road and surrounding infrastructure. A 350 foot section of Fjord was repaved and a new guardrail was installed. Fjord Drive is now open to all traffic.


 

Noll Road Improvements, Phase I

STATUS 10/26/11: Complete

 

The Noll Road Improvements are complete.  Examples of Low Impact Development are present throughout the project corridor.  There is a shared use path constructed of pervious asphalt that begins at Poulsbo Elementary School and continues to the entrance of Strawberry Fields.  Pervious concrete sidewalks were used throughout the project and new asphalt was paved in appropriate locations.    The new design includes striping for bicycle lanes and uses rain garden technology to manage storm water. This is the first project designed and constructed as part of the Noll Road Corridor Study and was funded by local street capital monies and federal grants.  The City would like to thank the public for their patience with the Noll Road project. Total project cost: $750,000

The South Viking Avenue Improvements project is complete. New sidewalks, a center turn lane, street lighting, bicycle lanes, full pavement restoration and landscaping were constructed as part of the project.  The project was completed in two phases and funded by both state and federal grants.  Total project cost - $1,500,000

Two sewer pumpstations, one at 6th Avenue and one at 9th Avenue have reached the end of their useful life.  These stations pumps sewerage up to the sewer main in Highway 305 and out to the treatment plant in Brownsville.  The pumpstations are over 40 years old and must be replaced soon.  The City has begun design on a project to replace these two pumpstations and replace the aging sewer infrastructure on Fjord Drive and a portion of 6th Avenue.  A consultant was hired in February to start design on the project.  Total project costs are not clear at this time and are highly dependent on the type of design chosen for the project.
