Scope of Work
Street Lighting - Upgrading street lighting of both roadways and sidewalks is a priority
of the City of Yakima. The project will upgrade existing street lights within a three to four-
block radius of elementary schools. Most of the existing lighting consists of 40-watt
L.E.D.s intended for residential areas. However, increasing the wattage to 80 watts will
significantly enhance the emission of light on roads and sidewalks, providing a safer
environment.This will especially be beneficial for kids walking to school during the dark
early morning hours of fall/winter. It will also provide additional lighting for afterschool
activities and aid the patrol of the Yakima Police Department.
• Hoover Elementary School - Prasch Ave. to W. Mead Ave.
S. 7th Ave. to Landon Ave.
• Adams Elementary School - Beech St. to Rainer St. 6th St. to 15th
St.
• Garfield Elementary School —Willow St. to Roosevelt St.
6th Ave. to Lewis Ave.
• Barge-Lincoln Elementary School - E. 0 St. to E. I St. N. 2nd St. to
N. 6th St.
Sidewalk Installation - There have been concerns regarding the safety of pedestrians
along South 16th Avenue due to the lack of sidewalks along the west side of 16th Ave.
16th Avenue is classified as a principal arterial, defined as one of the highest traffic
volume corridors serving both local and through traffic entering and leaving the City while
providing access to the City's major activity centers. 16th Avenue has a traffic volume
exceedingly more than 15,000 Average Daily Traffic(ADT) unitswith a posted speed limit
of 35 mph. Individuals must crossover 16th Avenue at unmarked areas to utilize the
sidewalk network that exists on the east side of 16th Avenue. Once at the intersection of
16th Avenue and Washington Avenue,a signalized pedestrian crossing allows individuals
to cross back over to the west side of 16th Avenue.Approximately 863 feet of sidewalk
with A.D.A. ramps are needed along the west side of S. 16th Avenue.
