Sequim City officials celebrated significant transportation improvements during the Planning Commission Regular Session on June 3, 2025. The meeting highlighted two major accomplishments from the previous year: the North Sequim Avenue overlay and enhancements to pedestrian and bike accessibility.

The North Sequim Avenue project, which stretches from Washington Street to the southern limit of Lavender Meadows, included a complete road overlay. This initiative not only improved the road surface but also introduced a dedicated bike lane, making it safer for cyclists. Additionally, stormwater management systems were upgraded, and new ADA-compliant sidewalks and ramps were installed to ensure accessibility for all residents.

The project also focused on enhancing safety and navigation at the nearby roundabout. Adjustments were made to the chicanes, improving the flow of traffic without widening the roundabout itself. New pedestrian-level street lighting and traffic lighting were added along North Sequim Avenue, further enhancing safety for both pedestrians and drivers.

These improvements provide continuous pedestrian access from Washington Street to the roundabout at Sequim Dungeness Way, significantly benefiting the community by promoting safer travel options. The city expressed pride in these projects, emphasizing their importance for transportation, safety, and stormwater management.

In addition to these accomplishments, the city reported ongoing efforts to upgrade traffic signals, including the installation of new cameras to enhance traffic monitoring and management. These initiatives reflect Sequim's commitment to improving infrastructure and ensuring a safer, more accessible environment for all residents.
