Project Overview: In 2004, the City initiated a project to explore options to improve safety and mobility along the Boulevard Road Corridor. The City sought and received active public participation throughout the study and the public's comments were integrated into the final study and alternatives for the corridor.
In April 2006, the Boulevard Road Corridor Study was accepted by the Olympia City Council. This study identified what is working well and what is in need of improvement along the corridor.
Next Steps: The City's long-term plan for the Boulevard Road Corridor includes many improvements to increase safety and mobility for motorists, pedestrians and bicylists.
Anticipated Projects:
- Odor Control Facility: STEP sewer systems along Boulevard Road often produce an unpleasant odor. To address this problem, the City is installing an Odor Control Facility on the west side of Boulevard Road at the south edge of Washington Middle School. The installation will begin on June 16, 2008, and will resolve the odor issue until a permanent sewer is constructed.
- Boulevard Road Sidewalk from 22nd Avenue to 30th Avenue: Construction of a sidewalk and a pedestrian island.
- Log Cabin Road & Boulevard Road Intersection: Construction of a two-lane roundabout at the intersection.
- Morse Merryman Road & Boulevard Road Intersection: Construction of a single-lane roundabout at the intersection. The roundabout will slow traffic, increase safety and include bicycle and pedestrian access.
- 22nd Avenue and Boulevard Road Intersection: Construction of a single-lane roundabout at the intersection. This roundabout will be similar in design to the roundabout at the Morse Merryman intersection.
