After urban holding was lifted in the area around Northeast 179th Street in 2020, the area has seen rapid commercial and residential development. To accommodate increased traffic generated by development, the county is improving roads in the area to preserve traffic mobility and safety of road users. These improvements will relieve traffic congestion and support economic development by:
- Increasing road capacity, allowing more vehicles to move through the corridor
- Increasing spacing between intersections on either side of I-5
- Moving traffic efficiently by eliminating delays from left turns and traffic signals
- Improving safety for motorists and pedestrians by eliminating left turns and consolidating intersections
- Aligning with the Clark County Comprehensive Growth Management Plan
