City Council Selects Shared Use Path Alternative

The City Council received an update on the three shared use path alternatives (east side, west side, and in-roadway bike lanes) and proposed phasing plan to implement the project over time. The phasing plan is shown below:


Phasing gets the project started, spreads costs over time, and provides time to pursue grant funding. The City Council made the following decisions regarding the project at their June 18, 2024 meeting.

  1. The west side shared use path is the preferred alignment. Seek feedback from the public during the design process.
  2. Include the design of the west side shared use path from the Island Park Elementary School driveway south to SE 60th Street; the SE 53rd Place intersection safety improvements; and the SE 68th Street pedestrian/bicycle safety improvements in 2025 to 2026 as part of the 2025-2030 Transportation Improvement Program.
  3. Include the construction of the west side shared use path from the Island Park Elementary School driveway south to SE 60th Street and the SE 53rd Place intersection safety improvements in 2030 as part of the 2025-2030 Transportation Improvement Program.
