Project outline 

In an effort to improve accessibility for all, beginning Monday, June 24, 2024, the Downtown Walla Walla area will undergo parking stall striping modifications. Striping work will last two weeks and will be weather permitting. Work is scheduled to start on Alder Street beginning at Spokane Street working west towards 4th Avenue from June 23 -June 28. Single lane, block closures will be in place from 11:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Main Street alterations are scheduled between June 30 -July 5, starting at Palouse Street working west towards 4th Avenue. Work will be completed between 11:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. with single lane, block closures. Full block closures to all through traffic will be in place from 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.

Improving accessibility for all

The modified parking plan was created in coordination with Walla Walla County Accessible Communities Advisory Committee (ACAC) as is in alignment with industry ADA standards. The revised parking locations will improve ADA curb ramp accessibility for community members with disabilities. ADA vehicles lifts are predominantly configured with access from the passenger side. Modified parking locations will more effectively accommodate ADA vehicle lifts to now face the sidewalk and will allow for passengers to more easily access curb ramps. Within the parking plan, the total number of parking stalls in the Downtown Walla Walla area remains unaffected. The project area map can be viewed below.
