Four road and sidewalk projects across the North Olympic Peninsula have received grant funding from the state Transportation Improvement Board.

A total of $564,000 was awarded to the city of Forks for reconstruction of Calawah Way between U.S. Highway 101 and Fir Avenue, and a sidewalk on Spartan Avenue from East E Street to the school campus.

In Port Angeles, $141,000 was awarded for sidewalks on Park Avenue from Race Street east to Liberty Street and the Peninsula College campus.

And in Port Townsend, $89,000 was granted for sidewalks on Discovery Road from Sheridan to Sherman streets.

The grants are fueled by 3 cents of the state gas tax dedicated to projects selected by the Transportation Improvement Board.
