To that end, a modification to the Yakima Avenue/I-82 Interchange has been in the formal review process for approximately two years. In recent months, significant progress has been made regarding the approval of the conceptual design. Funding for the full interchange improvement, as well as 1-82 corridor widening by WSDOT, is not currently in the State Transportation budget. The City Council Study Session update will provide information on the current design plan as well as the recommendation that the City of Yakima proceed with a first phase of the interchange modification, utilizing funds from the Local Infrastructure Financing Tool (LIFT) program, as well as other funding partners. This approach could accelerate interchange improvements, access to the mill site, and improve some of the congestion in the 1-82 corridor. A PowerPoint presentation will be provided at the City Council Study Session.

Additional data will be collected and analyzed to provide full understanding of Site. LOCHNER eHLA.
