Lewiston-Clarkston Downtown Circulation Study Underway

Second Public Meeting

Several interested residents attended a second public meeting to learn more about the Downtown Circulation Study in the Lewis Clark Valley, held on June 30^th at the Old Lewiston City Hall at 0207. The intent of the meeting was to present information developed to date and preliminary improvement options. Click here for a copy of the presentation.

Lewiston and Clarkston experience significant traffic volumes and congestion on their primary arterials, including US Highway 12 (Main Street & Bridge Street). This condition detracts from the quality of life and visitor experience. To address these issues the study will consider origin/destination patterns, traffic circulation and signal timings, bridge approach congestions, parking, pedestrian and bicycle connectivity, streetscape guidelines, and the impact of growth and redevelopment.

Topics, which were addressed on June 30^th, included Land Use Projections, Traffic Analysis, Origin Destination, Trails, Streetscaping, and Improvement Projects. For a copy of a recent article about the project click here.
