Project Background

East Portland Avenue is a major arterial that provides the main north-south access in the southeast quadrant of Tacoma. It is parallel to State Route (SR) 7/Pacific Avenue and provides critical alternate capacity/access from/to Interstate 5 and SR-512. East Portland Avenue currently has four through lanes and a center two-way left turn lane for much of its length. Sidewalks are provided on both sides of East Portland Avenue which accommodate non-motorized travel. Pierce Transit operates Route 41 along the corridor and it carries approximately 267,000 riders annually. Developed sites are a mix of residential neighborhoods and supporting components such as parks, schools, and small retail shops.

This project will construct safety improvements along the East Portland Ave corridor. The project includes removing and replacing existing traffic signal heads, pedestrian signal heads, pedestrian pushbuttons, junction boxes, and traffic controller cabinets, traffic signal poles, rewiring of existing traffic signals systems, removal and replacement of traffic islands and curb ramps, and installing channelization.
