Project Update
The City of Walla Walla will reconstruct Pine Street from Second Avenue to Cayuse Street beginning in the summer of 2026. The exact schedule is dependent upon securing property to construct the compact roundabout at the intersection of 9th Avenue and Pine Street.
Pine Street Reconstruction Project Overview
What is this project going to accomplish?
The project will replace failing asphalt pavement and improve the safety and operation of the intersection of 9th Avenue and Pine Street through the installation of a compact roundabout. The project will also enhance safety for pedestrians and bicyclists by constructing pedestrian ramps, installing bulb-outs at intersections, adding new streetlights, and adding buffered bike lanes. Sidewalk segments that have failed or create tripping hazards will also be replaced. Additional improvements include replacing water and sanitary sewer mains and services and installing a new stormwater system that infiltrates runoff rather than discharging it to Mill Creek.
On October 17, 2023, Anderson-Perry and City staff hosted an open house for residents who live adjacent to the project. The project team shared preliminary plans, provided project information, and received feedback from residents who will be impacted during construction.
The City hosted a Virtual Open House from March 21 to April 4, 2025, to gather input from residents, and this information remains available via this link.
Project Cost: $9.6 Million
