SCJ is leading a feasibility study to evaluate the potential to connect E Street across Tumwater Valley in the Brewery District Area of Tumwater. The new arterial connection will be a key driver in transforming the Brewery District, an area bounded by I-5 to the east, the cemetery on Cleveland Avenue to the west, the historic commercial area and Tumwater Historical Park to the north, and E Street and the Tumwater Valley Golf Club to the south.

The new arterial will draw 25,000 vehicles per day, improving travel times for regional east-west commuters. E Street will also reduce traffic demand on Custer Way, allowing for the creation of vibrant, pedestrian-scale neighborhood clusters in the district.
