A critical gap in Stevensons pedestrian network exists between the downtown commercial core and the Columbia River waterfront. Functionally classified as a Rural Minor Arterial, current vehicular usage on 1st Street primarily involves eastbound passenger and freight vehicles seeking to avoid congestion on 2nd Street (SR 14) through downtown Stevenson. On the south side of the street, the shoulders are progressively narrower from west to east. A sidewalk is available on the north side of the road but only as far as the couplet. At its terminus, there is no crosswalk connecting to the streets south side, and pedestrians seeking to go to the waterfront must contend with the now-highway speed vehicles. These safety concerns and user conflicts already existed on 1st Street, but have increased in recent years after the removal of a stop sign at the intersection of 1st Street and Russell Avenue and will increase along with regional growth.
