This will include repaving the roads, improving sidewalks, extending the infrastructure of the William O. Douglas Trail. Per the Yakima Comprehensive Plan 2040, the goal is to ensure this corridor becomes a complete street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The City of Yakima intends to design the corridor in accordance with the Complete Streets Ordinance (2012-48) which directs the city to plan, design, and construct transportation infrastructure with all users in mind, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, and public transportation users. Designing project in accordance with complete streets encourage healthy and active living, reduction of traffic congestion, and improvement in the safety and quality of life of residents in the City of Yakima by providing safe, convenient and comfortable routes for walking, bicycling and public transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The public is invited to engage and share perspectives. Your valuable input throughout 2024 will shape the City&#8217;s final design decisions, ensuring that 6<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0Avenue meets the needs of all its users while becoming a safer, more accessible, and cohesive corridor. This is the first of two opportunities to participate in the public outreach process. The concepts you see in the survey are based on site visits, meetings with stakeholders, and collaboration with engineers and City staff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following an open house on Sept. 19th, the City of Yakima continues to seek input on 6th Avenue rebuild\/renovation via a survey.
