The Park Board meeting for Thursday, February 21st has been canceled.

The City of Kelso is accepting applications for fireworks stand permits.

Due to the size of population, the City of Kelso is limited to allow for three fireworks stands each year.  Permits may be granted, or denied, based upon the City Manager's assessment of the applicant's experience and demonstrated record together with such other factors as are determined to be in the best interest of and benefit to the community.  All applications to operate fireworks stands shall be made no later than May 2, 2019.

For additional information, please visit the City's website www.kelso.gov or contact Traci Howard at 360-423-0900 or thoward@kelso.gov.

Tonight, starting at 8:30 pm, crews from Mill Plain Electric will be making changes to the signals on Allen Street at 4th Avenue and 5th Avenue.

The change on 4th Avenue at Allen will modify the signal and signing so that the left lane and the middle lane on 4th are left turn only lanes, and the right lane is available for through traffic southbound as well as right turns. On Allen at 5th Avenue, the signal and signing change will prohibit left turns from Allen to 5th Avenue Street. On 5th Avenue at Allen, the signal and signing changes will change the designation for the middle lane to allow left turns from 5th to Allen. Through traffic northbound on 5th at Allen will continue to be able to use the middle lane. Directional signing will be installed to route eastbound traffic on Allen Street to 5th Avenue northbound via 4th Avenue and Oak Street.  C & R Tractor and Landscaping will install temporary striping on 4th, 5th, Oak and Allen. Permanent striping has been delayed until night time temperatures are suitable.

The City will work to minimize inconveniences during construction. We appreciate your cooperation and patience.
