Parking restrictions near WSUV subject of Aug. 11 open house

WHAT: Public open house about on-street parking restrictions proposed on several residential streets in the Mount Vista area next to the Washington State University Vancouver.

WHEN: Tuesday, Aug. 11, 2008, 6-8 p.m.

WHERE: Clark County Sheriff’s Office West Precinct classroom
505 NW 179th St.
Ridgefield, WA

WHY: In 2008, a group of residents north and west of the WSU Vancouver campus asked the county to restrict on-street parking. Surveys conducted in spring 2009 showed that a majority of residents living on Northeast 147th, 148th and 150th streets and 26th Avenue favored the change.

Clark County Public Works is seeking additional input before making a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners. If approved, the county would restrict on-street parking along Northeast 147th, 148th and 150th streets between 29th and 26th avenues, and on Northeast 26th Avenue between 147th and 148th streets. Other roads north of Northeast 150th Street could also be affected.

The restrictions would occur Mondays through Thursdays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Fridays from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
