Proposed Road Standards

The Department of Public Works held two open houses to discuss the proposed changes to the Road Standards, one on April 19, 2011 in Cle Elum and the other on April 20, 2011 in Ellensburg. During these open houses, attendees learned more about the proposed update to the Road Standards and shared their comments and concerns.

On April 25, 2011, the Kittitas County Board of Commissioners decided to form a Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) to provide additional input on these proposed revisions. The CAC met June - October and proposed additional changes to the road standards.

The draft road standards will be discussed during a public hearing with the Planning Commission on February 14, 2012 at 6:30pm at the Kittitas County Courthouse, Commissioner's Auditorium, Room 109, 205 W 5th Ave, Ellensburg.
