City of Shelton Comprehensive Plan Update

The Washington State Growth Management Act (or “GMA”) is a state law that requires county and local governments to manage growth. All Cities and Counties must be in compliance with the requirements of the GMA to be eligible for grants and loans from certain state infrastructure programs. While the City of Shelton already has a Comprehensive Plan to manage its growth, the GMA requires that plans be reviewed periodically to better reflect current conditions. The Shelton City Commission adopted this most recent periodic update of the City of Shelton Comprehensive Plan on December 26, 2018.

DOWNTOWN VISIONING

Shelton Comp Plan Graphic

CONCEPT FOR FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS AT FOURTH/RAILROAD

The first phase of proposed enhancements on Railroad Avenue will occur this summer as a part of a demonstration project. This will include a “road diet” which reduces portions of Railroad Avenue from four to two lanes, introduces angled parking, and progressive tests of differing intersection controls and treatments at Fourth/Railroad, and other street enhancements. There will be opportunities for citizen feedback on the proposed treatments and progressive tests.
