OTHELLO – The community is invited to participate in an online open house to share comments on proposed improvements at the intersection of State Route 26 and First Avenue in Othello.
The Washington State Department of Transportation is planning to build a single lane roundabout at this location to improve traffic movement and public safety. The proposed design includes 10-foot sidewalks with crossings at each leg of the roundabout. Learning more about how the community travels in this area will help WSDOT finalize the multi-modal components of this project.
The online open house will run from July 10 to 25 and is available in both English and Spanish.
