About the 8th Street Paving Project
This project will remove and replace existing asphalt on 8th Street (between Lincoln and “A” Streets) and resurface the 8th Street Bridges. As part of this work, driving lanes will be reconfigured to include new bike lanes in both eastbound and westbound directions. In addition, pedestrian routes along 8th Street will be upgraded to meet current Americans with Disability Act (ADA) standards. Existing sidewalk curb ramps will be replaced throughout the project area, and new Accessible Pedestrian Signal (APS) buttons will be installed at the intersection of Cherry and Pine Streets.
To date, 40 sidewalk ramps have been upgraded to meet ADA standards. This includes the installation of new curbs and gutters, sidewalks and stamped concrete at each location. Existing asphalt on 8th Street (between Lincoln and “A” Streets) has been removed and the roadway fully resurfaced.
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as work continues. For more information, please visit our website or contact the Public Works & Utilities Department at (360) 417-4800 or publicworks@cityofpa.us.
