PORT ANGELES — The City of Port Angeles is asking residents to participate in a survey for the First and Front Streets Pedestrian Enhancement Project. The project aims to improve pedestrian and cyclist safety along the busy corridor, which serves as a key route for pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, and public transit users.

The survey, open until 11:59 p.m. on February 13, 2025, will gather input on safety concerns at eight locations along the corridor. Based on this feedback, the city will evaluate possible improvements such as flashing beacons, curb extensions, signage, and channelization.

The proposed improvement locations are:

1. West Front Street Midblock (South Oak and South Laurel Streets)
2. West Front Street Midblock (South Laurel and South Lincoln Streets)
3. West First Street Midblock (South Oak and South Laurel Streets)
4. West First Street Midblock (South Laurel and South Lincoln Streets)
5. East Front and South Albert Streets
6. East First and South Albert Streets
7. East Front and South Chambers Streets
8. East First and South Chambers Streets

The project is funded by a $1.28 million grant from the Washington State Department of Transportation Highway Safety Improvement Program. Design work will begin in 2025, with construction expected to start in Spring 2026.
