POSTED on Facebook via Nisqually Valley News:
Tenino city officials are considering alternatives to enhance downtown Tenino for pedestrians, vehicles and businesses — and now’s the time for residents to weigh in.
Focal points of this planning effort include enhancing the beauty of downtown, creating additional space for pedestrians in the historic district, and improving key intersections along Sussex Avenue, such as the Old Highway 99 and Wichman Avenue intersections, for vehicles.
Over the past several months, the city has worked with business owners, residents, and the Washington State Department of Transportation to develop a variety of potential options for enhancing Sussex Avenue (state Route 507) to better balance the street’s role as a state highway and Tenino’s main street. Options considered to date include providing wider sidewalks in some locations, adding landscaping to the historic district and creating a series of gateways for individuals as they travel into the downtown area. Intersection improvements such as roundabouts, traffic signals, or alternative configurations are also being considered.
Residents and business owners are invited to provide their thoughts about the concepts at one of the open houses on the following dates:
Aug. 12, 15 and 26 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Sandstone Cafe; and Aug. 20 and 25 from 5-8 p.m. at Tenino City Hall.
