38th Avenue Phase 2 Half-Width Roadway Improvements

Design is commencing for the second phase of improvements along 38th Avenue to increase pedestrian safety and bicycle access. The project consists of adding bike lanes, sidewalk, planter strip, and pedestrian lighting on the east side of the roadway between 56th Street and Hunt Street. The project will also be providing new curb and gutters, updating signal and curb ramps, and associated utility coordination for relocations. 


  • An Open House was held on October 25, 2022 at the Gig Harbor Civic Center and provided an opportunity for feedback on the alternatives presented. 
  • City Council discussed design alternatives at a Study Session on December 15, 2022. Council gave direction to go forward with a hybrid design approach using a separated sidewalk and curb design along with a non-separated sidewalk and curb in an effort to preserve trees. 
  • The project is anticipated to be bid-ready for construction by the end of 2023.
