Work on the design of SE Pioneer Way Improvements to be constructed in 2010 is progressing. Perteet Inc. has suggested several alternatives which are under consideration by the City.

Alternative 0 suggests replacing street sections and sidewalks as currently configured, essentially only fixing what is already there.

Alternative 1 suggests a two way traffic pattern with diagonal parking on alternating sides of the street.

Alternative 2 suggests a one way traffic pattern east bound with diagonal parking on the north side of the street.

Plans and sections of the alternatives and additional information is available at: http://www.oakharbor.org/pages.cfm?id=13&pid=140
