City receives award for Valleyway project
The creation of a safe walkway on Valleyway Road was among the transportation improvements that earned the nod as this year's "best of the best" in city and county projects.
Liberty Lake joined the cities of Maple Valley and Castle Rock, along with Chelan County, as being recognized as 2012 Award of Excellence winners. The awards were announced recently by the Washington State Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration.
"The real winners here are the communities and people who benefit from these transportation improvements," said Kathleen Davis, WSDOT Highways and Local Programs director.
The projects were evaluated based on safety enhancements, construction, innovative design, environmental sustainability and community involvement.
