East Bird Street Improvements
Project Description
This project will complete a gap of standard width pavement and pedestrian facilities along E. Bird Street with other recent improvements including modifications along Spilman Ave to connect Entwistle Street, the King County Snoqualmie Valley Trail, Fred Hockert Park, and to facilitate access to the central business district and schools. The project scope coincides with improvements being made along Tolt Avenue in order to bring cohesion to the existing network of roadways and pedestrian facilities in Carnation. Stormwater run-off will be infiltrated in a drainage swale, providing water quality treatment, groundwater recharge, and eliminate ponding. The project will also provide one gravel parking lanes.
Project Updates

06/17/2024: We have a road! Today is the last day the crew will be on site until the 26th. Then they will stripe the road and we will create a final punch list for the project. We still need to iron out some evaluation differences in front of homes, hydroseed the grass bioswale, relocate and replace signage, and a few other final touches. The job is set to be completed by the 4th of July!
6/05/2024: Starting tomorrow (June 5th) the Project Team will be working on the road. They will start grinding down what is left of the current asphalt and place a cement type base. This base is strong and will allow the street to hold up to wear and tear. This cement type base needs curing time. There will be a road closure this weekend starting Friday. Please plan and park accordingly and reach out with any questions.
5/31/2024: We have sidewalks! The team will be cleaning up and distributing topsoil early in the week. Wednesday they will be prepping the road for grinding. There will be a road closure late next week. Residents will receive door hangers notifying them. The asphalt will be treated, and parts of the road may be closed over the weekend. Thank you and pardon our dust.
5/24/2024: Happy almost Memorial Day weekend! The crew is on site today (Friday May 24th) and will return Tuesday May 28th. The team will be continuing working on prepping and pouring sidewalks.
