Memorandum
December 3, 2015
To; City Council Members
From: Debbie Cook, Director of Utilities and Engineering
Brett Sheffield, Chief Engineer
Subject: In response to the questions raised by Phil Hoge during the December 1, 2015 City
Council Meeting.
The Powerhouse Road Sidewalk project is funded by a federal Transportation Alternatives
Program (TAP) grant that the City received in 2014. Pathways were not eligible for this TAP
grant application. The maximum amount available from this grant was $275,000. With the
funding available, the best project that we could afford was to widen the westbound lane to a
14 -foot wide shared vehicle /bicycle lane and install curb, gutter and a 5 -foot sidewalk. This
project will extend the sidewalk on Powerhouse Road from the Mobil Home Park to Cowiche
Canyon Road, thereby filling the sidewalk gap between the Greenway and the future William O.
Douglas Trail.
