Action – Approval of Wildcat Way/University Way Intersection Expansion The City of Ellensburg seeks the approval of the easement necessary to improve the safety and efficiency of the intersection of Wildcat Way and E. University Way. The plan includes street alignment, traffic signalization, and the adding of left turn lanes at the intersection, without negatively impacting the cultural and historical significance of Wildcat Way itself. The easement includes approximately 5,500 ft 2 of right-of-way: • Easement #1: A 461 ft 2 easement at the NW corner of the intersection, about 10 ft. wide. The need for this easement was anticipated when the parking lot at this corner was constructed. • Easement #2: From the SW corner of the intersection, a 2,424-ft 2 easement that includes a 236 foot-long strip, approximately 5 ft. wide, running west to Ruby Street. • Easement #3: From the SE corner, a 2,675-ft 2 easement running east to Anderson Street, approximately 10-feet wide. The easement will eliminate two parking stalls in parking lot C-6 across the street from Barge Hall. • The SE corner will be expanded, moving the curb west to align with Wildcat Way. The gateway monument will be repositioned toward the southwest revised corner. The project will commence during the summer of 2019 and is funded with a $1.3-million safety grant from the State of Washington, and a match of $600,000 by the City of Ellensburg. The City will complete the renovation of the intersection and replace sidewalks, curbs, and landscaping impacted by the project.
