McKinley Street Improvement Project
Project Description
Project proposal will include street, sidewalk, parking lane, ADA and storm water improvements on McKinley Avenue between Blanche Street and Eugene Street in the City of Carnation. CDBG funds will be dedicated primarily to curb, gutter, sidewalk, stormwater and ADA curb ramp improvements. The proposed improvements will provide a safe pedestrian facility within a predominantly residential neighborhood and link residents to essential services (municipal, dental, educational, library etc.) and recreational opportunities and facilities. Improvements will also include the replacement of non-compliant ADA curb ramp at the Northeast corner of the Eugene Street and McKinley Avenue intersection to allow safe accessibility for the elderly and handicap parking.
Project Update
- We are on the final stretch now that the last of the stormwater vault has been installed. Sidewalk connection will be poured on 10/23/2024. Once this is complete, the project is at substantial completion. Most work will be small and the construction team will off-load all material and vehicles off-site. This project extended longer than anticipated and we thank the community for their patience and understanding. We look forward to celebrating the project soon
- We have roads! The Project Team will start working on back of sidewalk restoration this week and into next. This will allow the connection to driveways. We asked the team to please backfill any gravel to allow access to the driveways temporarily. Once this is complete, the team will install the last stormwater vault and finish that final patch of sidewalk on the east side of the street. We appreciate your patience and look forward to celebrating with the community soon
- All water portion of this project has been completed. We are finally seeing sidewalks being prepped and poured this week and into next week! Once sidewalks are poured, the project site will be prepped for the street to be grinded and re-paved!
