The Lincoln Street corridor is a key
transportation route for the City of Port Angeles, and one of the City’s most
active arterials.
The City is beginning the preliminary design
phase for the Lincoln Street Safety Project (between 1st Street and 8th
Street). This will focus on improved traffic and pedestrian safety,
including, but not limited to:
• Restricting left turns on Lincoln Street
and reducing driveway widths
• Buffered or sharrow bike
lanes, and reduced speed limits
• Modifying the bus stop near Safeway to
incorporate bike and pedestrian safety
• Traffic signal at 3rd and Lincoln Street
• Flashing pedestrian crosswalk signs at 4th
and Lincoln
• ADA accessible pedestrian curb ramps with
curb extensions, and reduced crosswalk lengths
• Reduce on street parking
Everyone is invited to an open house meeting
on Wednesday, October 10th, from 4pm to 6pm in the Vern Burton
Meeting Room. Join the open house to
learn more about the preliminary concepts under consideration and give your feedback
on the future of the project. This is an
open-house style meeting where you’re invited to talk with city staff and the
project team about the design alternatives.
Improvements on this corridor are especially
important since over 100 pedestrians per hour walk along or cross Lincoln
Street between 3rd and 4th Street. It is
also the location of two serious or fatal pedestrian injury collisions between
2012 and 2016.
The City is actively seeking funding to
advance this project from the current planning stage into the design and
construction stage.
A survey will be provided at the meeting,
If you are unable to attend either meeting, a
survey is available for your input, please visit:

We hope to see you there,
