We
received 35 responses to the Roosevelt Traffic Survey--thanks to all of you who
took the time to let us know what you've seen at the Bethel/San
Francisco entrance and how we might improve traffic flow and student
safety. Take
a look at our
draft letter to the Olympia School
District and others, which highlights the observed problems and proposed
solutions.

Miller Ave. sidewalk

This is our
top-priority project for 2006 - making it safe for students to get
to school and all of us to get to Friendly Grove Park! Construction
is scheduled to commence late summer 2006, and should be complete by
the end of September or early October. The sidewalk will be 6 feet
wide and will run from Fir Street to Friendly Grove Road. It will be
set back from the street by a 6- to 10-foot separation. Some sections
will have a storm water ditch between the sidewalk and the edge of the
travel lane. For more information, visit the City's Web site at
http://www.olympiawa.gov/newsfaqs/parksandpathwaysnews/sidewalkprojects/Miller.htm.
The City opened bids on Monday, June 19th and the low
bidder was Nova Contracting in the amount of $388,790. The contract
is going to the City Council on Tuesday, June 27th for approval.
After approval, the City will begin processing the contract and
set-up the preconstruction meeting. Most likely the preconstruction
meeting will be the week of July 3 or 10. Construction will begin
the week of July 10 or 17. The City will send out newsletters to
the neighborhood in the next few weeks. For more information, visit

A
huge THANK YOU to Kathleen and Chariti from the Olympia
Village Improvement Project for their commitment and skill
in helping us wrangle our diverse ideas into a tangible plan
of action. We're looking forward to bringing these ideas to
fruition and assisting VIP as they formalize the
intersection improvement idea for other neighborhoods in
Olympia.
