Lawrence and Tyler Streets Project
In partnership with Disability Awareness Starts Here (DASH), the Jefferson County Farmers Market, and Port Townsend Main Street, the City was pleased to receive two separate grants to provide funding for work on Lawrence and Tyler Streets in Uptown Port Townsend.
The project will include:
- Paving Tyler Street
- Installing new ADA compliant wheelchair ramps on Tyler Street
- Repairing sidewalk on Lawrence Street
- Installing bulbouts and wheel chair ramps on Lawrence Street
- Installing a new bus stop at the corner of Lawrence and Tyler Streets
The City has received great support for these projects as they will remove barriers to access businesses, the Community Center, the Library, and the Farmers Market in Uptown.
The project grants require the project be constructed this summer. Staff anticipates construction from August through September, 2024. The streets will remain open, but there will be disruptions in areas where sidewalk is being reconstructed.
The City Council has requested an evaluation of parking alternatives on Tyler Street and is soliciting public feedback. We welcome you to submit public comment and attend Council meetings on April 8 and April 15 to learn more. Click here to read the Agenda.
