VANCOUVER – In 2025, Clark County Public Works will begin construction of a project to improve Northeast 152nd Avenue between Northeast Padden Parkway and Northeast 99th Street. The project includes installation of a new traffic-signal controlled intersection with left-turn lanes and widening Northeast 152nd Avenue to add continuous sidewalks and bike lanes in both directions. 

The project will also add a new left-turn lane at the north entrance to York Elementary School, and two pedestrian crosswalks with push-button activated flashing beacons. A stormwater infiltration system will also be installed. During the project, the city of Vancouver will install a new water line. 

Residents are invited to learn more about the project including its design, approximate timeline, construction impacts and more, at an open house from 6 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 19. At the open house, staff will share a presentation about the project from 6:30 to 7 p.m., with a question-and-answer session immediately following. The presentation and question-and-answer session will also be streamed online via Webex. Residents viewing via Webex will be able to submit questions for the presenters using the “chat” feature. Before and after the presentation, in-person attendees will be able to view project information and discuss the project with staff. Refreshments will be provided. 

The in-person open house will be in the commons area of Prairie High School at 11311 NE 119th Street. To participate online via Webex, residents can register on the project webpage. An email reminder with a one-click link to join the meeting will be sent to those who register. Registration is not required, and a link to join the meeting will be posted on the project webpage at least 10 minutes before the presentation begins. Presentation slides and handouts, and a recording of the presentation, will be posted to the project webpage within five business days after the open house.
