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 – August 2024
Almost done! We have been waiting on some light poles and will be able to synch up the lights and do the finishing touches over the next few months.
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).
Please expect intermittent traffic delays in the project area over the next few months.
