The project also includes installing detectable warning surface (DWS) in various locations
VANCOUVER – Clark County Public Works will begin work in April on annual upgrades and repairs to sidewalks and pedestrian infrastructure, to meet current ADA regulations. The project will construct and/or upgrade sidewalk curb ramps, fill in missing sidewalk portions, and install upgrades to signal and/or push-button systems at various pedestrian crossing locations. The project also includes installing detectable warning surface (DWS) in various locations. DWS is a bumpy, textured surface that provides guidance for visually impaired pedestrians.
Construction will begin in April and continue through fall/winter 2025/2026. Construction activities will occur between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays.
For the safety of workers and the public, traffic lanes and/or sidewalks may be temporarily closed near worksites. Travelers will be directed around closed lanes and sidewalks.
