News/Press Release

In October 2021, the Parks and Recreation Commission established an updated Parks and Recreation vision and mission statements, as well as the goals for the updated PROS Plan. Both were informed by community input. This vision and mission statement, along with the PROS Plan goals, will guide the work of the Parks and Recreation department in the coming years.

VISION:

Construction on the NE 3rd Avenue Bridge over the Washougal River will begin July 8, 2021 and continue until December 2021.

Vehicular traffic will be temporarily reduced to a single lane in each direction throughout the duration of the project. The speed limit near the bridge will also temporarily be reduced to 25 mph.

With unusually dry weather this spring and into the summer, the demands for water are very high. The City is asking for your help to reduce the amount of water used by voluntarily watering or irrigating your lawn on odd/even days based on your address. Water on odd days if your house number ends in an odd number and even days if it ends in an even number. For more information on Water Conservation, visit the City’s Water Use Efficiency site.

The Six Year Transportation Improvement Program, also known as the Six Year Street Plan, is updated each year prior to commencement of the Washington State fiscal year of July 1 per the requirements of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 35.77.010. This year's program is for calendar years 2022 through 2027. Projects for which construction funding is obligated are pulled from the list each year.
