Lacey Approves $200M Road Upgrade Plan | Seattle News

Lacey City Council just approved a bold $200 million transportation plan for 2027, targeting major road upgrades across Marvin Road, Martin Way, Carpenter Road, and the Britton Parkway corridor. This isn’t just pothole repair—it’s a strategic infrastructure overhaul to handle future growth. The plan includes a new capital project, revised developer fees (now with a higher cap), and a 3% fee hike to fund road improvements near new developments. Key projects include a $52 million Martin Way/I-5 interchange, $23 million for Carpenter Road, and $19 million for Marvin Road. A new $16 million College Street Corridor Phase Three project, though initially denied a grant, received “highly recommended” status—great news for future funding. All projects are categorized by funding source—state/federal grants, developer fees, or regional significance—and the council unanimously endorsed it, directing staff to file with the state.
