Transportation Projects
DASH consults with the City on transportation improvements. Here are some recent projects:
- We are providing consultation and recommendations regarding the planned roundabout at Kearney Street and Highway 20.
- In 2021 we worked to secure sidewalks for both sides of Discovery Road between Rainier Street and Salish Coast.
- Trails are also part of accessible routes and we worked with the Business Park and the City to ensure that the trail connecting 9th Street with the Business Park be resurfaced to make it accessible.
- Improvements to paths plus a new path connecting the picnic area at Chetzemoka Park with the restrooms was part of DASH involvement in Park improvements and signage since 2019.

cannot do to limit what you

Young Professionals Network volunteers and family members – along with a few interested bystanders, travel the accessible beach trail with simulated disabilities in the first stage of their Fort Worden trails evaluations.
Jefferson Healthcare Accessibility
DASH has worked with Jefferson Healthcare to improve accessibility for many years. In 2010 our focus turned to working systematically on the obstacles patients encountered on Sheridan Street and the Jefferson Healthcare campus before they could enter the hospital and clinics.
