Crossing a busy street on foot can be an intimidating experience even for the most seasoned pedestrians, but now people crossing a highway onramp in west Vancouver have a reason to relax a little.
The Washington State Department of Transportation improved a crosswalk across an onramp onto westbound state Highway 14 from Columbia House Boulevard.
The agency improved the existing crosswalk by painting a stop bar on the roadway well ahead of the crossing, refreshing the crossing paint and adding flashing lights to the tops of crossing signs on either side of the roadway. The work took about five days to complete.
The crosswalk is part of a pedestrian path that connects the Columbia Way neighborhood to restaurants and shopping at the Grand Central retail center.
