SW Stephenson Street improvements


The Arnold Creek Neighborhood Association Active Transportation Committee remains actively involved in conversations with the city regarding the widened road shoulders/swales along Stephenson as proposed in the upcoming BES project.  It is the goal of the committee that the pedestrian walkways facilitated by these improvements be continuous along the length of Stephenson.



Stephenson/Boones Ferry intersection


There have been several unsafe "near-misses" at the new intersection involving southbound vehicles passing a bus paused at the bus stop.  The city has been contacted by local residents and we are awaiting a reply.
