Vancouver, WA – Planning to improve conditions for riding bikes and walking over the next 20 years will be the focus for an open house on the evening of Sept. 22.
The open house will be from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Fishers Landing Transit Center, at Southeast 164th Avenue and State Route 14, Vancouver. An open house previously set for that location was postponed due to exceptionally hot weather in July.
Project Manager Laurie Lebowsky said the public will have an opportunity to ask questions and learn the status of this Community Planning project. In addition, she said anyone interested may provide input on these three topics:
· Potential updates to the Clark County Bicycle Commute Plan adopted in 1996.
· How to enhance planning reflected in the Regional Trail & Bikeway Systems Plan adopted by Vancouver-Clark Parks and Recreation in 2006.
· Broader concerns about how to make the county more “walkable” to promote health and safety for pedestrians both in urban and rural areas.
Lebowsky said a draft plan should be ready for additional review and comment in the fall, before it is forwarded to the Planning Commission and Board of Clark County Commissioners for hearings and formal consideration in 2010.
More information is available on the project Web site at www.clark.wa.gov/bikeandped. People interested in learning more may also contact Lebowsky directly at (360) 397-2280, ext 4544, or e-mail Laurie.Lebowsky@clark.wa.gov .
