PORT ANGELES — Interwest Construction, Inc., of Burlington, has begun work on the First Street and Front Street Pedestrian Enhancements project.
The current work involves improvements to four mid-block crosswalks across Front Street and First Street, between Oak and Laurel streets and between Laurel and Lincoln streets, according to a press release from the city of Port Angeles.
The improvements include installation of ADA curb ramps, curb extensions, pedestrian flashing beacons and advanced signage.
