PROJECT SCOPE

This project involves construction of a non-motorized shared-use path along the Pacific Hwy S corridor from S 308th St to S 288th St.  The non-motorized improvements will consist of a path/trail that for portions of the alignment will follow parallel to Pacific Highway S and for portions of the alignment will be located within the (partially unopened) right-of-way for 16th Ave S.  The segments of the trail located off-roadway will include pedestrian-scale illumination for safety.  

Once constructed, this path will provide non-motorized access to the City of Federal Way's City Center, as well as to Des Moines' local downtown center, located north of the project limits.  This project will also eventually tie into the greater regional trail network with connections to Kent, Auburn, SeaTac, and beyond.

PUBLIC OUTREACH

 

2020-AUG: NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS 

Neighborhood meetings were held in August 2020 with property owners located within 300' of the proposed project.  These neighborhood meetings were broken into three groups: commercial/non-residential properties, residential properties located north of S Dash Point Rd, and residential properties located south of S Dash Point Rd.  The City received some great feedback from these property owners and used this feedback in moving forward with the design.
