Advantages of the Port Angeles International Gateway Project
The Port Angeles Gateway Project will include an investment in "basic" public transportation
infrastructure.
The Gateway Project will:
,~' coordinate transportation corridors and pathways to provide better coordination between
multiple modes of transportation near the ferry terminal and throughout the CBD.
~ help address deterioration of sidewalks in the immediate vicinity of the project site.
~ reduce traffic safety conflicts between pedestrians and motorists, buses and ferry traffic.
~' provide for permanent site location for Clallam Transit's main transfer area.
~ provide for dedicated park-n-ride facilities which are lacking in the downtown area.
~ help develop improved transportation and visitor orientation signage and signalization.
~' coordinate traffic signals tied to ferry loading/unloading
~ help provide and manage ferry and shopper parking during the peak tourist season.
The Port Angeles Gateway Project can also serve as a catalyst and anchor for further
downtown revitalization, and can help enhance and provide additional capacity to
accommodate regional tourism.
The Gateway project can:
~ reduce "leakage" of local retail and commercial business.
~' help provide additional capacity to manage increasing pedestrian, automotive and parking
demands as new downtown development and redevelopment occurs.
~ provide an identifying feature(s) or focus that represents an image of the community.
~ enhance marketability and competitiveness in terms of downtown business retention, expansion
and recruitment.
~' encourage additional private and public/private development and redevelopment in the CBD.
~ improve downtown land use by redeveloping some existing parking to below grade locations over
which additional public and/or private uses can occur, "at grade" and potentially "above grade"
(IE: air space development).
