On February 20, 2007 the City of
Port Townsend adopted Ordinance 2941 which enacted the East Downtown
Historic Streetscape Design Concept Plan.
The Plan contains standards and
designs that will serve as a guide for future improvements in the east end
of downtown.
Subsequent to adoption, the City has applied the concepts contained within
the Plan and developed a series of streetscape improvements. These
improvements have been funded through Council action and include the
following:
-
The removal and replacement of
approximately 14 street trees to allow the undergrounding of power and
telephone lines.
-
The replacement of existing sidewalks
and construction of new sidewalks in the East Downtown area.
-
The improvement of Water Street in
conjunction with the construction of the Northwest Maritime Center.
-
The installation of new coordinated street furniture,
lighting and signage.
It is
anticipated that the first phase of this project will be completed in Fall
’08.

Department at 385-7212
