Snohomish: Discuss Broadway Avenue plan
Snohomish County Public Works has scheduled an open house Tuesday evening to discuss plans for a new shoulder along a nearly 3-mile stretch of Broadway Avenue.
The 8-foot-wide paved shoulder would sit on the west side of the road, between Yew Way and 164th Street SE. Planners hope the shoulder will give pedestrians and cyclists and easier commute without competing for space with vehicle traffic.
The meeting is scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m. at Cathcart Elementary, 8201 188th St. SE, Snohomish.
More info: call 425-388-3789 or go to www.snoco.org and search for “Broadway Avenue Shoulder.”
