Olympia 2045: Transportation
Survey closes Friday on the second draft of the Comprehensive Plan Transportation Chapter
The survey on the second draft of the Transportation Chapter closes this Friday, September 27th. You can read the draft and share your thoughts on Engage Olympia.
This draft reflects the feedback we heard in June about the first draft. Some of the changes we made include:
Adding language to consider studying several topics and prioritizing them in the Transportation Master Plan update that will happen between 2027 and 2029.
Those topics include converting 4th and State Avenues to two-way streets, not allowing any streets wider than three lanes, and considering closing some neighborhood and downtown streets to vehicle traffic.
We also added language to consider the impacts of building new pedestrian and bicycle-only pathways rather than full streets when we study street connections after this plan is updated.
We hope to hear from you!
