\u201cThe North 1st<\/sup> Street Revitalization Project is intended to improve safety for drivers and pedestrians. Another goal is to increase the economic development potential of the North 1st<\/sup> Street corridor, one of the city\u2019s main entrances,\u201d said Communications & Public Affairs Director Randy Beehler. \u201cWe appreciate the community\u2019s patience and understanding during Phase 3 of this vital project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase 3 is expected to cost about $11.7 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is being paid for with approximately $9.8 million from the following federal programs: NHFP (National Highway Freight Program), NHPP (National Highway Performance Program) and STBG (Surface Transportation Block Grant)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, it is funded with $1.5 million from Washington state’s Transportation Improvement Board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The remainder is paid for with a combination of Transportation Benefit District funds (a $20 annual car tab fee adopted by the Yakima City Council during its 2018 budget process) as well as local utilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase 2 was completed and approved for acceptance by the Yakima City Council on May 2nd<\/sup>, 2023. The cost for Phase 2 was about $2.6 million. It was funded through a combination of water, sewer and stormwater funds and $20 annual car tab fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase 1 of the North 1st<\/sup> Street Revitalization Project was completed in December 2019. It included improvements between Highway 12 to the north and N Street to the south. It cost about $3.3 million and funded mostly with federal and state funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regular updates on the progress of Phase 3 will be provided through the City\u2019s various communications platforms including the City website, City social media sites, news releases and Y-PAC programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
