The City of Yakima is set to install a new stormwater catch basin on North 35th Avenue, resulting in the closure of a section of the road near Englewood Avenue on May 31st. The Wastewater Division crews will be working from 6:30 AM to 3:30 PM, and residents should anticipate traffic delays throughout the day. This project is part of Yakima's ongoing efforts to enhance stormwater management, which is crucial for minimizing flooding and ensuring public safety during heavy rains. Infrastructural improvements like these are vital for the city's resilience against environmental challenges. Motorists are strongly urged to plan ahead and find alternative routes to avoid potential congestion.

The city's proactive approach to infrastructure demonstrates a commitment to maintaining a safe and functional urban environment. Such projects not only improve traffic flow but also contribute positively to the overall community health and safety. For more details, residents can refer to the city’s official communications.
