The new roadway is designed to help reduce congestion along Main Street by creating an east/west connection between North Parkway Avenue and SR 503
The city of Battle Ground is seeking the community’s input on the proposed future extension of NW 5th Street between N. Parkway Avenue and SR503.
This project is in the early stages of preliminary engineering. The new roadway will help to reduce congestion along Main Street by creating an east/west connection between North Parkway Avenue and SR 503. The potential design options for the proposed intersection at NW 5th Street and SR 503 include a signalized intersection, right-in/right-out turn design, and a roundabout. These design concepts will be analyzed to determine the ideal option for this location, per Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) requirements.
“As we continually improve our overall transportation network and develop it in the long term, we want to be sure that this improvement project meets the needs of our overall transportation network and is suited to our community’s needs,’’ read a statement from the city. “The city encourages community members to take part in a brief survey to assist with the project’s design development.’’
Respondents will be asked to provide information on their travel habits, including the day, time(s), and frequency by which they travel in the area of this proposed intersection, as well as modes of transportation they use when doing so. This survey data, along with other data sources, will be used to gauge the use and predict future needs for this proposed roadway. Additionally, the public feedback will help guide the design recommendations to be considered by the city and WSDOT.
The public comment period for this phase of the project is open now through Dec. 3, 2024.
Further information about the project as well as a link to the online survey is available at www.cityofbg.org/NW5thStreet. To receive and submit a paper copy of the survey, residents can visit the customer service desk in City Hall, located at 109 SW 1st Street. The customer service desk is open 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) and 8 a.m. – 1 p.m. (Tuesday and Thursday).
