Project Overview
The Parkview Safe Routes to School Project (ES560) will add key regional sidewalks on Coolidge, Indiana, Cornwall and Vallette Street along with improvements along West Illinois. The project will also add a flashing beacon and crosswalk at Vallette Street. This project improves pedestrian and driver safety along a route to Parkview Elementary School and in the surrounding neighborhood.
This project is happening around the same time as our West Illinois Multimodal Project, which is just to the west of this project and is expected to begin construction in 2024.
Project Status – March 2024
Almost done! Crews are finishing up construction in March. Throughout April teams will be out painting and putting the finishing touches on the project.
The project was approved by the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and was awarded to Faber Construction by Bellingham City Council on July 24, 2023 (Agenda Bill 23793). Construction is underway and will continue through the Spring of 2024.
Please expect intermittent traffic delays in the project area over the next few months.
