NE 174th Street:
Know Before You Buy

These are the asks of the community.
We are asking our elected officials to act.

“I am requesting that Clark County commission an independent, certified traffic safety assessment of NE 174th Street and NE 40th Avenue — reviewed and approved by the Clark County Council — that certifies these roads can safely support vehicular traffic, pedestrian walking, and bicycling for 300+ homes as the sole access point to this neighborhood. No additional development should be approved until this assessment is completed, made public, and formally adopted by the Council.”

“I am asking the Council to preserve the Mill Creek Overlay District (CCC 40.250.060) and its current standards, including the 9,000 sq ft minimum lot size (Standard C.3) and the requirement for additional public road access before new development is approved (Standard C.2). This overlay was created in 2009 through two years of community engagement specifically because the area has environmental constraints and only one road in and out. The proposed upzoning to R1-7.5 would increase allowable density by 4.5 times on infrastructure the county itself recognized as inadequate in 2009. The overlay should not be weakened or bypassed through the Comprehensive Plan update.”

We are not opposed to growth. The real ask is simple: we are asking Clark County to do its job — to pursue responsible development with a genuine focus on community access, transportation safety, sidewalks, bike lanes, and adequate road infrastructure, while also protecting and preserving the environmentally sensitive areas that the county itself identified when it created the Mill Creek Overlay District. The county has the code, the authority, and the obligation. We are asking it to use them.
