Council approves Everett Street corridor project on consent; residents praise safety improvements
Summary
Camas City Council approved the consent agenda including the Everett Street corridor project. Residents praised recent street improvements and urged continued investment in pedestrian and bike safety.
March 3, 2025 — The Camas City Council approved its consent agenda Monday, which included the Everett Street corridor project as item No. 3. The motion to approve the consent agenda was made by Council member Burke and seconded by Council member Noor; the meeting record shows members answered "Aye" and the consent agenda was approved without a roll-call tally recorded in the transcript.
During public comment, resident Ed Fisher asked when the council or staff might provide updates about the Everett Street project after noticing the item had been approved on consent. "On the consent agenda was number 3, on the Everett Street, corridor project, and that wasn't mentioned... I just wondered when there might be some updates on that," Fisher said.
Tyler Sanders, a nearby resident who identified himself as a Logitech employee and frequent pedestrian and cyclist, praised recent improvements and urged continued prioritization of nonmotorized travel. "I just wanted to express my gratitude for how awesome the improvements to the street are," Sanders said. He added that pedestrian deaths nationally are at a four-decade high and described a "moral imperative to decrease our vehicle miles traveled in the city," urging the council to continue projects that prioritize safety, usability and experience for all users.
Council members did not reopen the consent item during the meeting. A council member offered to follow up with Fisher to provide details; the transcript does not include a staff report or timeline for construction or future outreach specific to the Everett Street project.
Why it matters: The Everett Street corridor project contains street-safety and multimodal elements residents praised during public comment. Local investments in pedestrian and micromobility infrastructure can affect daily safety, traffic patterns, and long-term transportation planning in Camas.
What wasn’t decided: The record does not include project funding details, construction schedule, or specific design changes discussed at the March 3 meeting.
