City to improve intersection at 25th Street and Bill McDonald Parkway near WWU

A traffic crew from the city of Bellingham is working to improve the intersection of 25th Street and Bill McDonald Parkway, next to the Archives Building.

As part of the project, the city plans to add traffic signals, add turning lanes in the median strips on Bill McDonald Parkway, add ADA-compliant sidewalk ramps, install new curb and gutter north of 25th Street along the Buchanan Towers site, repave the intersection and stripe the crosswalks and turn lanes.

The work will start Tuesday, July 6, and is scheduled to be completed by Aug. 21.
