Planning study news
Virtual open house available now thru June 25.
Purpose
US 101 through Raymond is a five-lane road, with two lanes in each direction and a center lane for left turns. The width of US 101 makes crossing difficult for those walking, biking and rolling. The roadway has more lanes than needed for current traffic volumes and for what is expected in the future. Roads that are too wide can encourage speeding, creating unsafe conditions. Although there are sidewalks on both sides, they are too narrow for the posted speed limits. With narrow sidewalks and fast-moving traffic, it is unsafe for pedestrians and cyclists.
As a part of this study, WSDOT recommends possible changes to the roadway, including removing one travel lane in each direction and adding bike lanes, as a part of a future paving project or other roadway work planned within the project area.
