192nd Avenue Project
We are working to improve safety and comfort on 192nd Avenue from NE 18th Street to SE 1st Street. The new design will meet current standards and support growth in the area. The project team is currently collecting information and feedback from the community to help share the first design concept.
This summer, we will share the first draft of the design and ask for feedback to ensure it meets everyone's travel needs. This input will help create an updated design, which will be shared with the community in fall of 2025. Check the project timeline for more details.
We are hosting a community open house on Wednesday, June 18 from 4 to 6 p.m. at Union High School to share the first project designs and gather feedback from the community.
This free public event is an opportunity for everyone to learn about the project and share insights for improving the roadway for all users.
Attendees at the open house will:
- Learn about our goals for improving safety, mobility and access along 192nd Avenue
- See early design ideas and suggested intersection improvements
- Understand how the project fits into the City’s Transportation System Plan and Complete Streets policy
- Share feedback that will help shape the final design
The project team will consider whether to:
- Repave and restripe the roadway
- Expand the roadway, where possible
- Use roundabouts or traffic lights to improve intersections at 18th, 13th, 9th and 6th Streets
- Extend sidewalks and bike lanes on both sides of the street, where possible
- Improve access to existing curb ramps
- Add center turn lanes and medians, where possible
- Modernize stormwater treatment and drainage systems
The project area is located on the eastern edge of Vancouver. Unincorporated Clark County and the city of Camas border the project area to the north and east.
Near the project area, there are a mix of residential neighborhoods, rural lands and schools, including:
- Harmony Sports Complex, northwest of the project area
- Union High School, southeast of the project area
- A variety of businesses and shopping centers along 192nd Avenue and SE First Street
Other improvement projects in progress or planned near 192nd Avenue include:
- City of Vancouver SE First Street Improvement Project
- Clark County Public Works Harmony Sports Complex parking lot and safety improvement project
- City of Vancouver Section 30 Subarea Plan
The project team will continue to work with the community on the project's design through 2026. Construction is planned to begin once funding is secured for that phase of the project.

A project advisory group (PAG) of people who live, work, go to school nearby and regularly use 192nd Avenue was brought together to help advise the project team throughout the design process. The group includes representatives from:
- Neighbors who live near and travel along the corridor
- The Humane Society for Southwest Washington
- Evergreen Public Schools
- People who operate Harmony Sports Complex, and teams that use their fields
- Nearby places of worship
- City of Camas Public Works Department
- And more
In February 2025, the group met to learn about the project and share ideas about what changes are needed most. In May 2025, the group met again to see early design concepts and gave a recommendation for pedestrian and intersection improvements. This recommendation will be shared at the June 18 open house.
The group will have one more meeting after the open house to help finalize the design.
For more information about the PAG, email Nicole Walters or call 360-487-8645 for more information.
