SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
•
On November 18, 2011, the Transportation Improvement Board selected the Nob Hill Boulevard - 49th Avenue
to 64th Avenue improvement project for a $2,400,000 grant award. Additional funding to complete this
• $3,217,128 project comes from the City of Yakima ($493,128), Yakima Transit ($10,000), Wal -Mart ($158,000)
and right of way donations from Congdon Orchards, Inc. ($156,000). Approximately $350,000 of the matching
funds has been spent in previous years performing the design and acquiring right of way for the project.
The proposed project will widen this section of Nob Hill Boulevard to five paved lanes, two eastbound, two
westbound and a center two -way left-turn lane, install curb, gutter, 7 -foot sidewalk (both sides), street lighting
and stormwater runoff treatment. The 14 -foot outside lanes will serve as a shared vehicle /bicycle lane.
This project will increase the capacity of this critical east -west principal arterial adjacent to recent and future
retail, commercial and residential development. This project extends the sength of sidewalk on both sides of Nob
Hill Boulevard from 16th Avenue to 80th Avenue. The installation of street lights will add to the safety of
motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists. The project is located on a Yakima Transit route, and will include additional
stops and turnouts to serve future retail and residential development.
