Community Survey 2

In August 2022, the City of Camas and its consultant team began evaluating the Everett Street Corridor from NE Lake Road to city limits near NE 3rd Street (not to be confused with NE 3rd Avenue running through downtown Camas) to determine how the roadway and intersections can be best configured to allow for safe, efficient passage through and access to the area by motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists who work, live, and play in Camas and the neighboring vicinities, while providing for planned growth.

Who We’ve Talked To & What We’ve Heard

Since then, we have engaged corridor businesses and property owners, Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT), Camas City Council, and a technical advisory committee of more than a dozen representatives of the school district, emergency responders, businesses, the cycling community, accessibility advocates, and more. 

Through a survey that ran from late November 2022 to early January 2023, here is how the community ranked their project priorities:

How You Can Help

Based on the priorities, concerns, and questions of hundreds of people, our evaluation process has entered a new phase. We are now gathering your feedback on potential configurations for the roadway to help drivers. Due to differences in terrain, space, and constraints along the corridor, we are looking at two sections of the corridor: that north of NE 43rd Avenue, and that south of NE 43rd Avenue.

We are also collecting your input on potential configurations for sidewalks and bike lanes to aid pedestrians and cyclists. Because consistency increases safety and compliance, one configuration will likely be applied throughout the entire corridor.

Your input is essential to define the needs of the community.

Please review the possible configurations presented in this document here, as shared at the April 26, 2023, community open house.

We will use the input, data, and guidance to further develop design concepts for consideration, select one design concept (called a “preferred alternative”), and begin developing the preferred alternative into a design plan.

A summary of responses will be provided on EngageCamas.com, where you will also find future opportunities to participate and stay up to date with the project.

Thank you!
