Skills Center Foundation
The Clark County Skills Center Foundation has added four new members, reports Katie Foehl, executive director of the foundation. They are as follows: Dustin Hysmith, sheet metal worker and member of Local 16; Dean Mannello, founder of the Sherwood Group; Gayle Rothrock, a former member of the Western Washington Growth Management Hearings Board and the Columbia River Gorge Commission, and Rothrock a current member of the board of trustees of Mills College; and Peggy Sheehan, manager of the Vancouver Community Development Block Grant Program. The Skills Center Foundation raises funds to benefit the students enrolled in the Skills Center’s technical programs. Opened in 1983, the Skills Center, which is owned and operated by ten southwest Washington school districts, provides technical and professional training programs that prepare Clark County high school and college students for the workforce. Replacement I-5 bridge and
light rail to Clark As a result of the Southwest Washington Regional Transportation Council Board’s action Tuesday, the Columbia River Crossing project’s six partner agencies have selected a replacement I-5 bridge and light rail extension from Portland to Clark College as the project’s locally preferred alternative. The other partner agencies, all of whom voted for the replacement bridge, are the City of Vancouver, C-TRAN, TriMet, Metro and the City of Portland. Consensus, however, has not been reached on details of the Columbia River Crossing. The CRC task force is expected to work closely with its partners and the public to address related board and council recommendations in the next phase of project development. “The decisions of our project sponsors, the recommendations from the community and the findings in the draft environmental impact statement show that the replacement I-5 bridge and light rail to Clark College have the best potential to improve freight mobility, relieve congestion, improve safety for travelers and provide real travel choices while serving the public’s needs,” says Don Wagner, regional administrator for Washington State Department of Transportation, Southwest Region. Before a final design can be developed, key decisions will be made on project elements including: financing and tolling, number of auxiliary lanes and design of the I-5 bridge, pedestrian and bicycle pathway, high capacity transit alignment on Hayden Island and Vancouver, sustainability plan and mitigation plan. An analysis of the environmental and community effects of the locally preferred alternative and other project elements will be included in a final environmental impact statement, expected in fall 2009. The Columbia River Crossing Project is a bi-state program created to reduce congestion, enhance freight mobility, and improve safety on I-5 between SR 500 in Vancouver and Victory Boulevard in Portland. To meet its goals, the project seeks to add light rail across the Columbia River, add merging and weaving lanes between interchanges, rebuild seven interchanges, enhance the bicycle and pedestrian path between the two cities and make the I-5 crossing seismically sound.
