Improvements for bike and pedestrian safety are being considered for nearly two miles of US 97A in Chelan, to be constructed in late 2026 or early 2027.
The project proposes improvements including the installation of a 10 ft. shared-use path to connect the Lakeside Park area to the junction of State Route 971 South Lakeshore Road.
The project will install curbing and safety features on the north side of the roadway and shift and restripe travel lanes to improve multi modal access between the intersection of Johnson Place and South Lakeshore Road. Driving lanes and speed limit will be reduced through the project length for traffic calming.
Project history
This project is funded through programs to enhance safety for multimodal users, and this section of road has been identified for improvements due to collision history and increased traffic volumes.
Existing conditions lacking sidewalks or bike lanes with moderate traffic also make improvements in this corridor important.
The proposed trail will bring connectivity to the City of Chelan’s Lakeside Trail by extending trail access west to the junction of SR 971/South Lakeshore Road.
