Existing ConditionsSE Grace Avenue is the main north/south corridor serving Battle Ground's industrial core. It connects with NE Grace Avenue via an offset intersection with E Main Street, causing significant delays, safety concerns including accidents, and has proven to hinder private investment in and around Battle Ground. This corridor provides a connection between Battle Ground Village and Old Town and the Community Center. The lack of sidewalks and bike lanes make for a dangerous connection between these areas. The existing road directly abuts an unsignalized railroad crossing. |

Summary of Improvements
- The benefits to the community are that less congestion and better movement to Main Street or off of Main Street will encourage expansion of industrial areas along the corridor. Sidewalks and bike lanes will provide safe passage between BG Village and Old Town. The signalized intersection will eliminate accidents caused by the confusing and dangerous offset intersection.
Description of Improvements
The solution to the problem described above is to expand this corridor to the standard 3-lane section for a minor arterial including bike lanes and sidewalks. Additionally, realigning this leg so that it connects directly to NE Grace Avenue at E Main Street and signalizing the new intersection.
