Curb improvements set in Port Townsend

PORT TOWNSEND — The city of Port Townsend is set to begin curb improvement projects at two locations.

Rocky Bay Construction, of Vaughn, will begin the Post Office Curb Extension project on Monday.

The $42,000 contract includes constructing a curb extension with ADA curb ramps, sidewalks, catch basins, stormwater pipe, and preparations for rain garden installation at the northwest corner of Washington and Harrison streets.

Several parking stalls on the south side of the post office will be used for staging equipment and supplies, but no streets will be closed, a press release said.

Shawn Canepa Contracting, of Sequim, will begin the Adams Street Curb Ramps project on Thursday.

This project, valued at $38,150, includes bulbouts, four ADA curb ramps, rain gardens, catch basins and stormwater pipe at the southwest and southeast corners of Adams and Washington streets.

Construction on both projects will typically begin after 7 a.m. and end before 6 p.m.

Both projects have been funded by a $250,000 grant from the state Transportation Improvement Board.
