Neighbors and community members are invited to learn about design activities associated with the reconstruction of the intersections of Northeast 29th Avenue and Northeast 50th Avenue with Northeast 179th Street, at an upcoming open house. This area is anticipated to experience significant growth over the next 20 years. Upgrades to the intersections will accommodate future traffic volumes while maintaining safety and mobility.
Neighbors and community members are invited to learn about the Heritage Farm Wetland Restoration project. This project will restore five acres of wetlands and establish two acres of riparian buffer along a channelized section of Cougar Creek’s headwaters on Clark County’s 78th Street Heritage Farm property. The project will also include creating about one acre of wetland, replace a storm sewer pipe under access roads, and resurface the farm’s gravel driveways.
Vancouver, Wash. – Neighbors and community members are invited to learn about plans for the Northeast 99th Street corridor.

Vancouver, Wash. – Recent heavy rains are impacting communities around the state, with minor impacts occurring in Clark County. Clark County Public Works has been responding to calls as they come in, addressing issues of standing water and downed tree limbs on county roads and in county parks. Crews are also prepared to assist neighboring communities, including Skamania County, if needed.
Residents can check for weather-related traffic impacts at clark.wa.gov/public-works. Additionally, several park properties have been impacted. Current impacts include:
Vancouver, Wash. – Weather forecasts for the greater Clark County area suggest the potential for continued snow-and-ice conditions over the next several days. Crews with Clark County Public Works’ maintenance operations team have been out pre-treating county roads with saline anti-icer, a mix of salt and water, which prevents a bond from forming between the pavement and the snow. Roads need to be bare and dry to effectively apply the anti-icer combination.
Vancouver, Wash. – Annual parking passes for four of Clark County’s biggest, most popular parks will go on sale Tuesday, Dec. 7.
2022 passes cost $30 and will be valid at Frenchman’s Bar Regional Park, Lewisville Regional Park, Salmon Creek Regional Park/Klineline Pond and Vancouver Lake Regional Park.
