2017 Overlay – Roeder Avenue

Pro​ject Overview: ES540

The Roeder Avenue Overlay project resurfaced Roeder Avenue from the Whatcom Waterway bridge to Squalicum Parkway including buffered bicycle lanes in each direction. In addition, the sidewalks on the south side of Roeder were reconstructed to replace damaged panels from adjacent street trees. Trees were planted along Roeder next to the sidewalk without root barriers. These trees were removed, the tree wells modified to include root barriers, and then species appropriate trees were planted in their place.

Roeder Avenue was at the end of its useful pavement life and required an overlay. The street was resurfaced and buffered bicycle lanes were added in each direction. The sidewalks along Roeder had been heavily impacted by roots from trees planted without root barriers.
