192nd Avenue Project
Overview
We are working to improve safety and comfort on 192nd Avenue from NE 18th Street to SE 1st Street. This busy street moves thousands of people every day — whether they are going to work, school, local businesses or parks. The new road design will meet modern urban standards and prepare for growth in the surrounding area.
The project is still early in the design phase and the project team is collecting community feedback to help inform the final design.
Our second community open house took place Tuesday, May 12, at Union High School. During the event, the project team shared the latest design concept (including four proposed roundabouts) and gathered input on walking, biking and rolling preferences along the corridor.
Missed the event? There’s still time to share your input. The online comment card is open through May 31. Feedback collected at the open house and through the comment card will inform the final design.

Potential improvements
The project team is evaluating options to improve 192nd Avenue and surrounding intersections. Potential considerations include:
- Expand the roadway, where possible, to add space for drivers, pedestrians, bikers and small mobility device users
- Repave and restripe the roadway
- Improve safety, access and comfort at four intersections (18th, 13th, 9th and 6th Streets)
- Improve facilities for people who walk, bike or use small mobility devices
- Improve pedestrian crossings at intersections and other locations throughout the corridor
- Modernize stormwater treatment and drainage systems
- Update underground utilities
- Identify opportunities to increase access to transit
Project Area
The project area is located on the eastern edge of Vancouver. Unincorporated Clark County and the city of Camas border the project area to the north and east.
Near the project area, there are a mix of residential neighborhoods, rural lands, and schools, including:
- Harmony Sports Complex, northwest of the project area
- Union High School, southeast of the project area
- A variety of businesses and shopping centers along 192nd Avenue and SE First Street
Other improvement projects in progress or planned near 192nd Avenue include:
Public Involvement
On Tuesday, May 12, the project team hosted the second open house at Union High School. The event showcased the latest design and collected community feedback on:
- Access and connectivity (how people travel the corridor)
- Roundabout central island design
- Preferences for crossings and multimodal design (the areas people walk, bike and roll)
This feedback will help shape the final design, which will be presented at the third and final open house in fall 2026.
Missed the open house? There’s still time to share your input. The online comment card is open through May 31. Every response goes directly to the project team and will be considered in the final design.
In-person event schedule:
- June 18, 2025 – Open House #1 (event summary)
- May 12, 2026 – Open House #2

Project Advisory Group (PAG)
A project advisory group (PAG) of people who live, work, go to school nearby and regularly use 192nd Avenue was brought together to help advise the project team throughout the design process. The group includes representatives from:
- Neighbors who live near and travel along the corridor
- The Humane Society for Southwest Washington
- Evergreen Public Schools
- People who operate Harmony Sports Complex, and teams that use their fields
- Nearby places of worship
- City of Camas Public Works Department
- And more
In February 2025, the group met to learn about the project and share ideas about what changes are needed most. In May 2025, the group met again to see early design concepts and gave a recommendation for pedestrian and intersection improvements. This recommendation was shared at the June 18 open house.
The group will meet throughout 2026 to help finalize the design.
