Background and Analysis:
The Pacific Avenue project begins to implement a 2010/2011 storm and surface water strategy. This strategy is the first of several projects to retrofit heavily traveled streets in older neighborhoods of Olympia to provide water quality treatment. Under the strategy, specific projects are identified and prioritized based on traffic counts, site feasibility, and cost effectiveness.
The City received a Washington State Department of Ecology Stormwater Retrofit and Low Impact Development Grant to help construct the project. The grant is also being used to design additional City projects that will be built in the future. One is for the City Maintenance Center on Eastside Street and another one is for State Avenue between Plum and Central Streets.
The Pacific Avenue project will build an underground stormwater treatment facility and include other improvements such as landscaping and stream mitigation along Pacific Avenue at the Indian Creek crossing. The improvements will treat stormwater from a 13-acre commercial district. The treated stormwater will flow to Indian Creek, then on to Budd Inlet. Limited public access will be provided to the site during and after construction.
If approved, the project will start in early August and be completed by late September.
