Phase 2 of the downtown infrastructure improvement project is in full swing and making progress. The project is scheduled to be completed in early summer.

During the work, Railroad Avenue will continue to have intermittent one-lane traffic. Lane closures can occur weekdays, between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Motorists are encouraged to use alternate routes.

A rough timeline of the remainder of the project includes:

April – continuing work on underground infrastructure work for utility lines (power, phone and cable), sidewalks between Southeast King Street and Southeast Fir Street and boardwalk between Southeast King Street and Southeast River Street along the train tracks;

May – Restore parallel parking between Southeast King Street and Southeast River Street; continue work on sidewalks, curbs, gutters and boardwalk; install new street lighting, landscaping and street trees;

June – Repave Railroad Avenue between Southeast River Street and Southeast Fir Street, install road signs; landscaping;

July – Continue landscaping and irrigation, install street furniture, other project work.

This timeline is subject to change.

Parking is available in the King Street lot, at the Snoqualmie United Methodist Church and along Falls Avenue Southeast.

On the weekends, limited parking is also available along the train tracks.

Parallel parking will be restored downtown in May. Parking along the train tracks will close for continuing installation of the boardwalk. All other neighborhood parking will be open as usual.
