In 2001, early signs of structural wear became noticeable on the Laurel Street stairs. That year, the City Council authorized the Laurel Street Stair Replacement Project No. TR0101 in the Capital Facilities and Transportation Improvement Plan. Funding for the design of this project was secured in the City’s 2023-2024 budget and, over the last two years, City staff has been working with RWD Landscape Architects on two conceptual designs.

Once this project is complete, the existing Laurel Street Stairs will be replaced with easy-to-maintain materials.

Provide Your Input on Design Options 

The City of Port Angeles invites residents to weigh in on two, conceptual design options for the Laurel Street Stairs Replacement Project. 

The Online Survey is Now Closed as of March 10, 2026. 

At the Parks, Recreation & Facilities Commission meeting on February 19, City staff and RDW Landscape Architects presented a brief history of the Laurel Street Stairs Replacement Project  and introduced two conceptual design options. Community members in attendance were then invited to share feedback on those designs through an onsite activity. 

If you missed the meeting, you can watch the recorded presentation online and share your thoughts by completing the online survey by Monday, March 9. 

Feedback received will be shared with the Commission for review before the next meeting on March 19. On that day, the Commission is expected to select one design for recommendation to the City Council.
