City Council to discuss project priority list
A long-term plan for prioritizing transportation projects in Stanwood is planned to be voted on this week by the City Council.
The City Council meeting is 7 p.m. Thursday at the Stanwood-Camano School District Administration Building at 26920 Pioneer Highway.
The plan includes a variety of road projects, such as rebuilding sections of 276th Street NW, 68th Avenue NW and 80th Avenue NW.
The goal of the transportation plan isn’t to guarantee funding for all projects on the list, but to establish a priority list to give city staff guidance for planning improvements. The list also allows the city to pursue grant funding for different projects.
