In this Focus On Shelton, presented by Peninsula Credit Union. City of Shelton Engineer Ken Gill takes Jeff Slakey along the route of the Western Gateway Project that is happening in the city of Shelton. 

From the City of Shelton Website: Western Gateway will revitalize West Railroad Avenue from Pacific Court at the Shelton city limits through the intersection with 8th Street. Prior to construction, city crews will remove the railroad tracks that cross Railroad Avenue near the 11th Street intersection. Specific improvements coming as part of this project include: New pavement Storm drain improvements New water main and water services New curb, gutter, and sidewalks New bus pullout with bus shelter PROJECT TIMELINE In 2018, we first applied for grant funding and initiated the design process for Western Gateway. In 2019, we held a design concept public meeting (Click here to view design concept public meeting slides). We have finished the design process and will be going out to bid for Western Gateway very soon. Construction is expected to begin spring 2022.
