Vancouver, WA – Clark County Public Works will improve Northeast 99th Street in the Orchards area starting this fall, thanks to a $2.5 million economic stimulus grant from the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
Clark County will also invest $2.6 million from the county road fund to complete the construction. This project will support more than 40 private-sector jobs for several months.
The construction contract is currently out for bids, with work expected to begin in October 2009. The project will widen Northeast 99th Street, between State Route 503 and 137th Avenue, to one travel lane in each direction plus a center left-turn lane, bike lanes and sidewalks. Construction will take about nine months.
The county will use several low-impact development techniques to manage stormwater runoff from this new roadway. This includes the use of pervious sidewalks and rain gardens between the road and sidewalk to capture and clean stormwater runoff. Clark County uses low-impact development techniques to help meet the water quality and environmental sustainability goals included in the county’s Comprehensive Growth Management Plan.
