Drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians who use Tucker Avenue will enjoy a safer and better quality roadway by mid-summer. The Town of Friday Harbor is scheduled to begin major improvements on Phase One of this project, starting around May 1st, which will include an upgrade of utility lines, road resurfacing, and the addition of bike lanes and sidewalks from Guard Street to Harbor Street. This project will improve utility service in the area, significantly upgrade the roadway surface, and enhance pedestrian and bicycle safety on this heavily trafficked road.

In 2017 the Town will complete Phase Two of the project which will improve Tucker Avenue from Harbor Street to University Road.

The Town has mailed notices to property owners in the area with a request that landlords forward the information to their renters and property managers. The Town wants to ensure all those directly affected by the project have received notice of the construction. Contractors are being asked to expedite the project with as little traffic disruption as possible; however road closures and detours will be unavoidable. The public is asked to exercise patience and to make every effort to be respectful of neighborhood residents when using detours in the area.

Information and updates on the project will be posted under “What’s New” on the Town website at www.fridayharbor.org.
