Town Center: Utility & Woonerf Project

Cherry Avenue and Kincaid Avenue Woonerfs surrounding Reuben A. Knoblauch Heritage Park

The City of Sumner adopted the Town Center Plan in 2018 allowing for redevelopment of properties in and adjacent to the historical Sumner downtown corridor. To provide public services in accordance with that plan the City seeks to upgrade road, sidewalk, storm drainage, sanitary sewer, and domestic water facilities within and adjacent to Alder Avenue and Kincaid Avenue between Main Street and Park Street.

In addition, the City of Sumner has secured grant funding for the delineation of a bike route between the Sumner Sound Transit Station and Wood Avenue. The project will involve the reconstruction of curbs, sidewalks, signage, street striping, and utilities to accommodate the bike lanes.

In 2021, the City of Sumner adopted the Main Street Visioning Plan. This plan captured the community's vision that eventally led to the inclusion of the woonerfs around Heritage Park (Cherry Avenue and Kincaid Avenue between Main St and Maple Street) in this project.

    Puget Sound Energy's contractor Potelco is on site this morning pulling out the old power poles in the alley parking lot south of Main Street between Kincaid Avenue and Alder Avenue. Parking in this area will be limited until PSE/Potelco is done. They were able to squeeze us in last minute to get this done, so the City was just informed of it this morning. That is how PSE rolls, and the City is just happy that they made us a priority. PSE/Potelco will also be pulling out the old poles on the west side of Cherry Avenue between Maple Street and Main Street today - this is just in time to align with the TCUW schedule that is planning on beginning to pour concrete sidewalks on the west side of Cherry Avenue on Monday 5/8.
