YAKIMA – Yakima area residents have an opportunity to review and weigh-in on proposed possible changes to a vital travel corridor adjacent to US 12. On Thursday, March 24, the Yakima Valley Conference of Governments, City of Yakima, Yakima County and Washington State Department of Transportation launched an online open house identifying potential solutions along the West Powerhouse Road corridor in Yakima. Solutions identified to improve the corridor are based on community responses and agency input from a 2021 survey.

About the West Powerhouse Road corridor study
West Powerhouse Road in Yakima is a vital corridor that parallels US 12 and connects west Yakima shopping centers, rapidly increasing residential area, Chesterley Park, the Greenway, Cowiche Canyon, Naches Heights, Gleed, and Selah Heights. YVCOG, the City of Yakima, Yakima County, and WSDOT plan for and manage part of the transportation system in the study area. These agencies joined to lead this study with the goals of reviewing congestion, travel delay and gaps in the bicycle and pedestrian network. The final solutions list will be used to guide future projects to address anticipated continued growth of the area.
