PORT ANGELES — City officials will host an open house this month to discuss plans to rebuild a narrow and bumpy section of West 10th Street.
The two-hour open house will begin at 5 p.m. March 29 in the Hamilton Elementary School library, 1822 W. Seventh St., Port Angeles.
Crews will resurface and add bike lanes along a 0.6-mile failing section of West 10th Street between South N and I streets.
In addition to new asphalt, curb, gutter, drainage and bicycle lanes, a sidewalk will be added on the north side of West 10th between N and M streets.
The street is used by students walking to and from Hamilton.
Port Angeles Public Works Director Craig Fulton has said the goal is to begin construction by the end of this summer and complete the work by the end of the year.
The timing will depend on the approval of permits and the weather, Fulton told the City Council last month.
The city received a $1.15 million grant from the state Transportation Improvement Board to cover most of the $1.8 million cost.
At the open house, city engineers will be on hand to answer questions and discuss why the project is important, what improvements are being made and the timeline.
“We would like your opinion on the proposed project,” a city flyer said.
For information, call Jonathan Boehme, a city engineer, at 360-417-4811.
