The City of Kelso is partnering with Washington State Department of Transportation to study potential improvements to Allen Street between South 8th Avenue and North 17th Avenue that will help improve safety and mobility. We need help from the community in choosing potential design options to improve the way people travel on Allen Street.

The workshop – which is part of the city’s efforts to study potential improvements to Allen Street – will take place from 4:30 to 6 p.m. at Kelso City Hall in the Council Chambers. Attendees will have the opportunity to weigh in on proposed designs, which include traffic signal enhancements, roadway and lane modifications, and potential roundabout options.

Those who cannot attend the workshop are encouraged to visit the Allen Street Corridor Transportation Study online open house at bit.ly/allenstreet to learn more and share feedback online.

Later this winter, the project team will compile community feedback to refine the concepts and select a preferred design option. Once selected, the team will begin efforts to secure funding for the work as quickly as possible.

We want to hear from you!
