Alternative Pedestrian Route

During the week of July 22, 2024, City staff began posting signs (see image on the left) along the east-side path of Island Crest Way (ICW) from SE 63rd Street to the Island Park Elementary driveway to encourage pedestrians to walk/bike/roll on the east-side of the Island Crest Way during Crosswalk Improvement construction.

Use the East-side Path of ICW

Staff are suggesting the use of the east-side path to help reduce the number of pedestrian crossings on Island Crest Way and minimize overlap with construction work areas.

Intermittently during construction, pedestrian paths may be blocked. Pedestrian escorts will be stationed near a path blockage to guide pedestrians through or around the work area. The image in the middle above looks south on Island Crest Way and shows an example of a pedestrian path blockage at the southeast corner of SE 62nd Street, and the location of a pedestrian escort. Please plan for delays on pedestrian paths when blockages occur.

Use Caution and Stay Between Orange Construction Fencing

When construction work does not block pedestrian paths, walk/bike/roll between the orange construction fencing. The image on the right above shows the east-side path adjacent to the Island Park Elementary driveway.

Staff are anticipating completion of the crosswalk improvement project by the end of August or early September.
