New monument-style markers were recently installed at the Northwest 38th Avenue entrance to Camas, not far from the site where a new multi-family residential/commercial development called Kate's Crossing is being proposed. Camas Mayor Scott Higgins said similar entrance markers and improvements are being planned for other west-side entrances to the city. "We are making it very clear that when you enter Camas, you know it," he said. "We are going to try to make it brighter with lights. We are going to try to make it more visually appealing with entrance markers and street scapes, so you know exactly when you've entered the 'promised land.' I hope, if (Kate's Crossing) moves forward, that is what we achieve."
