PULLMAN, WA—The City of Pullman requests community input on the Project Downtown Pullman
draft plan—the next phase in a multi-year City-led effort to reshape downtown Pullman’s streets and
public spaces.
The draft plan, presented in digital story book form on the
Project Downtown Pullman website, will
introduce a series of impactful projects that all seek to cultivate community, experiences, and a stronger
downtown economy.
Through July 8, 2022, community members can review the plan and comment
either digitally through the
Project Downtown Pullman Story Book or in person at City Hall—190 SE
Crestview Street, Building “A”—where a paper version of the story book and comment cards will be
available.
The City of Pullman will consider all comments when making final decisions on the prioritization of
projects for construction and subsequent allocation of the roughly $9 million in American Rescue Plan
Act (APRA) funds.
“ARPA funding allows us to pursue the community’s goal of improving infrastructure and transportation
in downtown without additional burden on the taxpayers,” said Mayor Glenn Johnson. “The remarkable
impacts of these projects will transform our downtown.”
The City Council approved a contract with Welch-Comer Engineers to conduct the first phase of the
project, which included working with a Steering Committee to identify projects from the 2020
Downtown Master Plan that would be most impactful for downtown Pullman’s vitality. In late April, 45
property and business owners provided input about their neighborhood and how specific improvements
could benefit the area.
The Pullman City Council will review the consulting team’s initial project prioritization recommendations
during their Council meeting scheduled for June 28, 2022. The Council expects to make a final decision
on which projects to move forward on August 9, 2022.
