Tomorrow, Nov. 1, at 1 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers, 415 W. 6th St. in Vancouver, the City Planning Commission will offer a free presentation, “Neighborhood Electric Vehicles: A New Paradigm for Urban Transport.” The Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs) serve families, small business, institutions, and more. Under Washington law, NEVs may be operated on any public street with a speed limit of 35 miles per hour or less. What is the future of neighborhood electric vehicles in Vancouver? How will their adoption and use change the way we think about getting around in our community? To attend, RSVP to Tina Picchioni at 360-487-7813 or tina.picchioni@cityofvancouver.us.

Construction on State Route 14 is bringing some changes to the way drivers access the highway at Sixth St. in Washougal. Starting today, drivers will no longer be able to cross or make left turns onto or off of SR 14 at Sixth St. Right turns at this location will not be affected. Drivers wishing to cross SR 14, or make left turns onto or off of the highway, should use the traffic signal at Second St., less than one-half mile to the west. Since crews are still working on the frontage road and roundabouts on the south side of SR 14, drivers there will use a temporary gravel road to reach Second St. until crews resume paving in the spring. This work is part of the SR 14, Camas-Washougal Widening and Interchange project. Learn more at www.wsdot.wa.gov/projects/SR14/CamasWashougal.
