See You at Our Next Community Open House
April 26, 2023, 6 pm @ Lacamas Lake Lodge
Online Survey to Follow, April 26 – May 26

Please join us on Wed., April 26, for our second community open house! The event will be held at Lacamas Lake Lodge, located at 227 NE Lake Road, starting at 6 pm. Attendees will learn about the corridor options we're exploring and have a chance to offer input.

An online survey to collect additional input on the corridor options will also be available here on Engage Camas from April 26 to May 26, 2023. A printed version of the online survey will be available at the event as well as at City Hall and Camas Library after the event through May 26.

Please note: We are in the early stages of this long-range, multi-phase project. Your participation and feedback matter!

For background on the project, see the PowerPoint presentation from our first community open house in November 2022 here.

About the Project

Purpose – The City of Camas is 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.

Community Focus – Having kicked off this project in August 2022, no decisions have been made. An essential part of our efforts will be sharing information and gathering the feedback of residents, business owners, recreationalists, organizations, Camas School District, Clark County, and the Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to ensure their priorities and values are reflected in the corridor design. There will be many opportunities for public involvement, and we invite you to be part of the discussion from start to finish.

Regional Significance – This critical project furthers the multimodal improvements (that is, improvements that benefit users of multiple modes of transportation such as walking, biking, and driving) achieved by the NE Lake Road–NE Everett Street roundabout while relieving traffic congestion for the corridor’s 15,000+ daily users. It will also set the stage for significant improvements throughout the region by connecting nearby recreational areas such as the Lacamas Lake North Shore, Lacamas Lake, Round Lake, and Crown Park, as well as school district facilities, neighborhoods, and local businesses.

Funding – This project is made possible by local funds and takes the project through approximately 20% of the design phase. Funding for additional design and construction will be pursued at a later date. Ultimately, improvements to the corridor are anticipated to take many years and will likely be completed in multiple phases.

Project Team – The project is led by City of Camas Public Works with support from PBS Engineering and Environmental, WSP, and Archaeological Investigations Northwest (AINW).

  • CLOSED: This survey has concluded.

    Community Survey 1

    In August 2022, the City of Camas and its consultant team began evaluating the Everett Street Corridor from NE Lake Road to the northerly city limits (near NE 3rd Street). 

     

    Our purpose is to analyze the corridor using public input, data, and technical guidance to develop an improvement plan for providing safe, efficient passage and access for all. We will use the input, data, and guidance to develop design concepts for consideration, select one design concept (called a “preferred alternative”), and begin developing the preferred alternative into a design plan.

     

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

     

    Please answer the below questions about the form and function of the corridor. 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.
