Stinson Ave. Project Gets Open House Date

GIG HARBOR, WA - An open house for residents to learn about the Stinson Avenue roadway improvement project will be held at the Gig Harbor Civic Center before the scheduled city council meeting April 8.

From 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. at 3510 Grandview St., open house visitors will have an opportunity to check out the latest information related to the Stinson Avenue Water Main Replacement, Overlay, and Intersection Improvements project before hearing a proper presentation from city staff.

Following the open house, at 5:30 p.m., the city council will meet and a public comment period will give interested resident a chance to ask questions and/or express concerns about the project's potential impact on the community.

According to city documents describing the improvement project, Gig Harbor officials plan to improve Stinson Avenue between Grandview Street and Harborview Drive by installing a new overlay, curbs, gutters, a planter strip, and sidewalks along the westside of the avenue.

Additionally, the project will see existing upgrades made to pedestrian curb ramps that are not currently in ADA compliance as well as the replacement of an aging asbestos cement water main pipe.
