City of Camas Strategic Plan 

The City of Camas is undertaking a multi-year initiative to update the City&rsquo;s Comprehensive Plan. The Our Camas 2045 Comprehensive Plan will establish a vision for growth and development and will articulate goals, objectives, policies, and actions to guide our future through 2045. The plan will also address recent changes to Washington&rsquo;s Growth Management Act related to housing and climate change. Hometown. Our Town. Our Camas 2045 is a unified endeavor and partnership involving all of our community, our residents, and our local businesses in shaping our future over the next two decades. Our Camas 2045 will be more than just a document; it will be a shared vision that reflects the aspirations and dreams of our town. <hr>In conjunction with Our Camas 2045, the City is concurrently developing a subarea plan for downtown Camas. <a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://engagecamas.com/ourdowntowncamas2045">Our Downtown Camas 2045</a> will set a more detailed vision for Downtown Camas, maintaining its hometown feel while setting the stage for a thriving future.

Our Camas 2045

In conjunction with <a class="fr-strong fr-green" href="https://engagecamas.com/ourcamas2045">Our Camas 2045</a>, the City of Camas is developing a downtown subarea plan to establish a more detailed vision and action plan to catalyze public and private investment in our historic downtown that preserves and enhances its unique sense of place. Our Downtown Camas 2045 will be a visionary roadmap that honors our rich heritage and maintains our hometown feel while setting the stage for a thriving future. Hometown. Downtown. Our Town. Our Downtown Camas 2045 is a unified endeavor and partnership involving all of our community, our residents, and our local businesses in shaping our future over the next two decades.

Our Downtown Camas 2045

The City adopted the <a href="https://www.cityofcamas.us/sites/default/files/fileattachments/parks_and_recreation/page/9532/camas_pros_vfinal_amended_ord_22-002.pdf">Parks, Recreation and Opens Space (PROS) Plan</a> in 2022. Virtually all respondents (97%) to the <a href="https://engagecamas.com/parks-recreation-open-space-comprehensive-plan">PROS Plan community survey</a>, which received nearly 1,400 responses, felt that local parks and recreation opportunities are important or essential to the quality of life in Camas. Three core priorities also emerged from the community feedback: maintain what we have, fill gaps and improve trails connections, and develop and improve existing parks. This project responds directly to two of the three core priorities &ndash; &ldquo;maintain what we have&rdquo; and &ldquo;develop and improve existing parks&rdquo;. Chapter 10 of the PROS Plan provides key project recommendations that respond to these priorities, which includes &ldquo;Sports Field Improvements.&rdquo;<img src="https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-us-california/ab4e2d7717d619511f7db09aeec212ee5d353395/original/1717111555/e1e7409948ec29839bbc2fc22c0248a9_PROS_Chapter_10_figure.jpg?1717111555" style="width: 777px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib">The City has a collection of grass fields that serve youth and adult baseball, softball, soccer, lacrosse and rugby; and a handful of outdoor courts that serve tennis, pickleball and basketball. Over the last several years, this region has experienced very wet spring seasons, which have negatively impacted the grass fields and shortened the practice and playing season for leagues. While there are synthetic fields available through the school district and Clark County Parks, the City has heard that it does not meet current user demand, especially for leagues that use Camas fields as their home field. In response to the priorities set out in the adopted PROS Plan and continued feedback from leagues and other athletic facilities users, the City is conducting an assessment to complete a Citywide Sports Fields Plan (Plan). The Plan is an assessment of the athletic facility&#39;s capacity and conditions, which include the nine existing city sites with athletic sports fields and courts within the city limits of Camas. Capacity assessment will also include a demand analysis of East County to better understand opportunities for partnerships amongst various jurisdictions to phase in additional capacity. The Plan will serve as a management tool for the City to maintain and enhance its existing fields and sports courts and provide a strategy for adding additional capacity to meet the growing demand efficiently and cost effectively. <h2> </h2><h2>Help us understand athletic facilities usage</h2>Beginning this summer and moving into fall, the City will ask Camas residents / athletic facility users what sports they play, conditions observations and if there&#39;s enough capacity in our system. Your input is essential, as it will help us draft the plan - PLEASE TAKE THE SURVEYS BELOW by Friday, June 21.You can learn more about this process by periodically visiting this page, and by signing up for email updates to keep informed about open houses, surveys and more!Public meetingsYou can find meeting dates and agendas under Key Dates on the right side of this page. Ultimately, City Council, after being advised by the Parks and Recreation Commission, will make the final decision on plan adoption later this year.

Citywide Sports Fields Plan

Help us improve the intersection!The City is considering whether to add a new traffic signal or roundabout to the intersection at NW Lake Road and NW Sierra Street.Either option would:<ul style="list-style-type: disc;margin-left:undefined;"><li>Reduce traffic backups, mainly for northbound motorists on NW Sierra Street trying to enter onto Lake Road.</li><li>Improve safety and mobility by reducing the likelihood of high-speed collisions and upgrading sidewalks and bicycle lanes.</li></ul>The optionsA roundabout would allow the best traffic flow and provide a better long-term solution but would cost more in the near-term and take longer to complete the improvements. A roundabout may also require the City to purchase small pieces of land from nearby homeowners. Ongoing maintenance costs for a roundabout are less than a traffic signal. <div style="display:flex;flex-direction:row;flex-wrap:wrap;justify-content:space-between;"><div style="max-width:50%;min-width:300px;"><img style="width: 100%; height: auto;" src="https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-us-california/1a71bd6682682522aa5e492f891ffc57aadecea5/original/1715123294/7a28325421963da6dee16a7fff49cef8_1.jpg?1715123294" alt="Rendering showing the potential roundabout on NW Lake Road and NW Sierra Street, facing west on NW Lake Road" class="fr-fic fr-dii">Potential roundabout on NW Lake Road and NW Sierra Street, looking south at NW Sierra Street</div><div style="max-width:50%;min-width:300px;"><img style="width: 100%; height: auto;" src="https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-us-california/b23210b6576c3230f5c9cd6494cd454eb06eb18f/original/1715123308/00bb41a9c731034c8c642ca9454bfccd_5.jpg?1715123308" alt="Rendering showing potential roundabout on NW Lake Road and NW Sierra Street, facing west on NW Lake Road" class="fr-fic fr-dii">Potential roundabout on NW Lake Road and NW Sierra Street, facing west on NW Lake Road</div></div> A traffic signal would improve traffic flow, be less impactful to motorists to build and have less impacts on neighboring properties &mdash; but requires more maintenance and traffic wait times would be slightly higher than a roundabout. This option may cost less now but will likely need to be replaced within less than 20 years due to increasing traffic volumes over time. A traffic signal requires vehicles to stop which can create more localized noise and pollution compared to a roundabout. <div style="display:flex;flex-direction:row;flex-wrap:wrap;justify-content:space-between;"><div style="max-width:50%;min-width:300px;"><img style="width: 100%; height: auto;" src="https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-us-california/1a71bd6682682522aa5e492f891ffc57aadecea5/original/1715123714/1babc7b5dd80a1f4277431f3f138f09b_1.jpg?1715123714" alt="Rendering showing the potential signalized intersection on NW Lake Road and NW Sierra Street, looking south at NW Sierra Street" class="fr-fic fr-dii">Potential signalized intersection on NW Lake Road and NW Sierra Street, looking south at NW Sierra Street</div><div style="max-width:50%;min-width:300px;"><img style="width: 100%; height: auto;" src="https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-us-california/d5e777399f11669f5724917eac36867130d0a009/original/1715123740/7c9044f6595cdc9689a6706522475ae5_4.jpg?1715123740" alt="Rendering showing potential signalized intersection on NW Lake Road and NW Sierra Street, looking north at NW Lake Road" class="fr-fic fr-dii">Potential signalized intersection on NW Lake Road and NW Sierra Street, looking north at NW Lake Road</div></div> <h2>Background</h2>NW Lake Road is a major east-west roadway connecting East Vancouver and Camas. NW Sierra Street is a primary roadway providing access to residential areas on Prune Hill. The intersection has only a stop sign on NW Sierra Street.Currently, traffic often backs up at the stop sign due to Lake Road&rsquo;s high speeds and heavy traffic volumes. For the same reasons, traffic sometimes backs up in the westbound left-turn lane on NW Lake Road.A future traffic signal at this location could reduce traffic wait times on NW Sierra Street to approximately 20 seconds in the morning and 12 seconds in the afternoon.A future roundabout at this location could reduce traffic wait times on NW Sierra Street to approximately 12 seconds in the morning and 13 seconds in the afternoon. If no improvements are made at this intersection, future delays in the morning and the afternoon will exceed 100 seconds.For NW Lake Road, there are not currently any delays as there is no stop control. Both the signal and roundabout will add some minor delays to Lake Road travelers, but well within acceptable operating standards.<h2>Timing</h2><ul style="list-style-type: disc;margin-left:undefined;"><li>Later this summer, City Council will choose a preferred alternative for the project team to design for construction. Your feedback will be considered in the selection process.</li><li>Construction timing will depend on Council&rsquo;s choice and available funding.</li></ul>
