An illustration shows the preferred alternative for the city of Camas' Everett Street Corridor improvement project presented to Camas officials Dec. 20, 2023. The plan calls for elevated bike lanes and sidewalks on both sides of state Route 500 that runs from just north of the Lake Road-Everett Street roundabout to the city's northern limits near Northeast Third Street.

One month after Camas residents and business owners concerned about the City’s Everett Street Corridor improvement project’s possible negative impacts to their homes and businesses packed the Camas City Council’s Nov. 20, 2023, workshop, city officials gathered again to discuss the corridor improvements and mull next steps for the traffic corridor.

“We’ve got a lot of public comment on this, and this is our fourth presentation to Council,” Camas Public Works Director Steve Wall told city officials during a special meeting held Dec. 20, 2023. “This does not mean we’re not still taking comments or that people can’t still send (comments) to Council or staff. And we’re still taking questions on Engage Camas.”
