Project Overview – ES565
This project will improve safety for all users along the James Street corridor in the King Mountain neighborhood. The improvements include a new multi-use path on James Street from Telegraph Road north to King Avenue, and sidewalks and bike lanes from King Avenue to Gooding Avenue. The project will connect with proposed improvements at the Bakerview and Telegraph Roads intersection, and existing improvements at Kellogg Street. The project will also upgrade street lighting and install City fiber connections.

The project addresses a key bike and pedestrian connection in the north part of town that is developing. The design is meant to minimize environmental impacts while also limiting the cost. This project is noted in both the Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plans.
Construction of the project will require lane closures and large construction equipment, resulting in traffic delays and noise/dust generation.
Project is funded by the City Transportation Fund, Street Fund, Transportation Impact Fees and a Washington State Transportation Improvement Board Grant.
