The City of Lake Stevens Awarded Sidewalk Grant

The City was successful in being selected for a State grant to install sidewalks along both sides of North Davies between the two mini roundabouts. This will provide a much needed improvement to safe pedestrian travel in this commercial area. Along the south side of the roadway there are some existing sections of sidewalk and the improvements will compete a missing section in the middle. Along the north side, there is no pedestrian facility and very little shoulder next to an open drainage ditch. Design work is expected to begin in the spring of 2015 and construction is expected to occur this coming summer. The total project cost is estimated at $414,000 with the grant covering $310,000 of that cost.
