Summary:
The City of Fife identified the need to improve freight mobility, reduce railroad conflicts and add capacity within the vicinity of 70th Avenue East and Valley Avenue East. This area was a key segment in the development of a north/south corridor roadway needed to provide access to major industrial areas in southern Pierce County and would require roadway widening. As part of the design component of roads and construction engineering projects, noise and air quality impacts must be reviewed to ensure compliance with applicable federal, state and local regulations. Federally funded projects require a detailed analysis of noise impacts and need to undergo an air quality conformity determination.
