At the end of February the City of Gig Harbor completed a multi-month project known as the Cushman Trail Gap Project, connecting a section of the Cushman Trail between Cushman Trail Park and Soundview. This project was completed under budget!
Following a request from the State of WA DOT to improve bike facilities and trails, the City of Gig Harbor was awarded a $145K Grant from WSDOT to improve the facilitied in the area for pedestrian and bicycle safety and access. The project was designed, managed and inspected in house by City Staff Jeff Langhelm, Jeff Olsen, Amy Londgren, Marcos McGraw and Terri Reed. City crews completed the detailed work removing all existing 5 foot sidewalks, realignment of the roadway centerline on Hollycroft Street and construction of approximately 1000 lf of new 10 foot wide sidewalk, curb, gutter and electrical conduit for future street light installation.
The city's work was made significantly easier by the patience of partnership of local businesses in particular the owners of the 76 Gas Station and the Harvester Restaurant. Hats off to all who helped this project come to completion.
