Drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians who use Tucker Avenue will enjoy a safer and better

quality roadway by mid-summer. The Town of Friday Harbor is scheduled to begin

major improvements on Phase One of this project, starting Tuesday, May 10th, which

will include an upgrade of utility lines, road resurfacing, and the addition of bike lanes

and sidewalks from Guard Street to Harbor Street. This project will improve utility

service in the area, significantly upgrade the roadway surface, and enhance pedestrian

and bicycle safety on this heavily trafficked road.

The Town has mailed notices to property owners in the area with a request that

landlords forward the information to their renters and property managers. The Town

wants to ensure all those directly affected by the project have received notice of the

construction.

Contractors are being asked to expedite the project with as little traffic disruption as

possible; however road closures and detours will be unavoidable. The public is asked to

exercise patience and to make every effort to be respectful of neighborhood residents

when using detours in the area.

Information and updates on the project will be posted as often as possible. Questions

can be directed to the on-site Project Manager or Town Hall.
