Lasher Street is 0.2 miles in length, climbing 90 feet from Vancouver Avenue to its terminus. At its terminus sites Cascade Village, a 36-unit affordable housing community. Lasher contains 2 narrow lanes, no pedestrian facilities, no/limited shoulders, inadequate intersection sight lines, no/limited stormwater controls/treatment. On Upper Lasher, fire hydrant coverage is inadequate. Downhill speeding threatens pedestrians. Lower Lasher is crumbling. Tenants on Lower Lasher compete for the limited street parking on Vancouver Avenue.

Project Description
Transform Lasher Street from a dangerous, soulless corridor into a Complete Street prioritizing pedestrians and safety by adding a sidewalk, lighting, and traffic calming.
Existing Condition
Project Benefits
- On Upper Lasher, the cross section will be changed to add a sidewalk and a bench for pedestrian respite. The automotive corridor will remain 2 lanes with no shoulder/street parking. A fire hydrant will be added. These improvements all consider the needs of the residents of the affordable housing community at the streets terminus and the neighbors traveling the corridor. On Lower Lasher, the cross section will be changed to add a sidewalk on one side, lighting, and a parking lane. Accomplishing the above requires a shift in the roadbed, facilitating the necessary rebuild. The parking land serves the needs the residents of Lower Lasher who compete for a limited number of parking spaces on Vancouver Avenue.
