The area around Northeast 179th Street is experiencing rapid development. Development will increase traffic in the area. The existing road network was not designed to accommodate the increased traffic volume. A plan is needed to balance increased traffic volumes with safety and mobility. The goals of the plan are:
- Make main roads safe for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians.
- Prevent traffic congestion.
- Accommodate infrastructure and utility needs of the rapidly developing area.
- Protect the area’s wetlands, creeks and wildlife and reduce stormwater pollution.

Additional plan information
Council work session March 29
The Clark County Council is holding a work session about the 179th Street Access Managment and Circulation Plan on Wednesday, March 29. The goal of the work session is to provide council with information about the plan. Council is requesting this information as they consider adopting the plan. At the work session, staff will present questions submitted by residents and provide answers, as time allows.
The council will decide whether to move the plan to a public hearing. If the plan moves to a public hearing, the public will have an opportunity to submit additional comments during the hearing.
The work session will not delve into the circumstances that led to the need for the plan, i.e., development and lifting of the area's urban holding designation.
