Everett council funds design of California Street bike lanes
EVERETT — The Everett City Council allocated about $1.5 million on Wednesday toward the design of new bicycle lanes that are set to be installed along California Street east of the city’s downtown.
The bike lanes are set to stretch from Broadway to Maple Street, connecting with the existing bicycle facilities at the Highway 2 trestle. To make room for the new 6-foot-wide bike lanes on both the eastbound and westbound sides of the street, the existing angled parking along California Street would change to parallel parking, according to a city description of the project.
Much of the $1.45 million approved for the project’s design — about $1.1 million — came from federal grants. About $300,000 came from a city street improvement fund.
There’s currently no estimated cost for the construction phase of the project, city public works spokesperson Kathleen Baxter said Thursday. That will be determined through the design phase.
