Marysville Middle School Safe Routes to School construction funds agreement was scheduled for the April 27 City Council meeting

What the records say

In materials published ahead of the April 27, 2026 City Council Regular Meeting, the agenda included a recommended motion to authorize the mayor to sign and execute a Local Agency Agreement and State Construction Funds Project Prospectus with the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) ¹. The agreement would obligate construction funds for the Marysville Middle School – 49th Drive NE (south of Grove Street) Safe Routes to School project ¹. The agenda bill summary states the City was awarded $358,904.00 in Safe Routes to School program funds for the construction phase, and describes the project as a 10-foot-wide shared-use path, landscape buffer, curb extensions, curb ramp improvements, and street centerline striping ¹. Because this is a state-funded project, the agreement and prospectus are required to obligate funds for the construction phase through WSDOT ¹. The available records do not establish the meeting's outcome ¹.
