Third Avenue Bypass Viewpoint Improvements - City of Ketchikan

Currently, many residents utilize the informal gravel lot off of the Third Avenue Bypass as a parking lot and to admire the view. The initial phase of this improvement project is a safety measure and would create a crushed gravel parking lot to provide stability to the site. Included is basic landscaping, a picnic table, trash cans and one piece of public art. This initial project phase provides the foundation for a future paved parking lot. Later phased development of this roadside viewing area, complete with additional public art and interpretative panels, would add value to this much used and enjoyed area. As February 27, 2023, this project is currently in the FY 2023 - 2027 CIP. Funding for this project is allotted in the city's capital improvement plan for construction FY 2024. A firm timeline has not been established; however, construction is scheduled for Fiscal Year 2024. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
