On August 8, 2023, Snoqualmie will see significant construction activity as Public Works crews install ADA warning ramps at key intersections along Snoqualmie Parkway.

In addition to the noise, residents are advised to remain cautious and plan their routes accordingly during the installation.

The project underscores the city’s dedication to creating safer environments for all residents, particularly those with mobility challenges. As the project unfolds, updates will be provided to keep the community informed. This initiative not only enhances local infrastructure but also promotes inclusivity in public spaces.
