Signs such as advanced warning signs and chevrons for roadway curves, upgraded stop signs at intersections, and other delineation devices will be installed as recommended per MUTCD requirements to also prevent run- off -the -road accidents. Public Works successfully received Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) federal funds in the amount of $689,000 with no local match requirement if construction is authorized prior to April 30, 2019. This project was identified as the #1 priority in the Kittitas County 2017 Safety Plan, and this project addresses safety improvements to those roadway segments identified in the safety plan. This project will be tied with the 2018 Kittitas County Safety Improvements Project, and the two projects will be advertised for construction as a single contract. Public Works is preparing to advertise the project for construction in the fall of 2018 and is requesting the release of the Federal Construction Funds. This requires the Local Agency Federal Aid Project Prospectus to be signed and approved by the Chair of the BOCC.
