Creston Street Project Team Addresses Community Concerns Over Traffic Management and Communication

Clark County officials are taking significant steps to improve communication and manage traffic disruptions as construction begins on NE 179th Street and NE 29th Avenue. During a community meeting held on August 14, 2025, project leaders outlined the initial phases of the construction, which will involve clearing work areas and relocating utilities before major road improvements can commence.

Brian, a representative from Clark County Public Works, emphasized the importance of clear communication with residents to minimize confusion during the construction process. He acknowledged past issues with traffic control signage and pledged to address concerns promptly. Residents are encouraged to report any problems with signage or detours directly to the project team to ensure timely resolutions.

Kyle, the project manager from Cascade Bridge, the contractor for the project, introduced himself and reassured attendees that he would be available for direct communication throughout the construction. He highlighted the team's commitment to being good neighbors and maintaining a smooth workflow despite the challenges posed by large work areas.

Jason Fritz, Deputy Director of Operations at the local emergency services agency, also spoke at the meeting, stressing the critical role of communication in managing emergency responses during the construction. He noted that timely updates on road closures would allow emergency services to adjust their routes effectively, ensuring public safety is not compromised.

The meeting underscored a collaborative effort among county officials, contractors, and emergency services to enhance communication and address community concerns as the project progresses. Residents can expect ongoing updates and are encouraged to stay engaged as construction moves forward, with the goal of improving infrastructure and traffic flow in the area.
