Gause Elementary School students and their parents maneuver around vehicles on the 3400 block of "K" Street, in Washougal, after school April 28. They include RaeShel Peck (left, with her children), who helped bring attention to the issue of K Street needing sidewalks to provide safer passage for children. A public hearing about that proposal, and other potential Community Development Block Grant funded projects, will be held Tuesday, May 9, in front of the Board of Clark County Councilors.

A project that has qualified for potential federal funding would involve adding sidewalks to busy roads in Washougal, thanks to the efforts of local mothers.

RaeShel Peck and Jill Hofmann championed the proposal that would add sidewalks from 32nd to 34th streets along K Street, and south from K to J Street on the east side of the road.
