Vancouver will move forward with its plan to replace a 70-year-old operations center facility, a move aimed at improving the city’s capacity to respond to emergencies.
The city council took a step toward constructing the new facility during its workshop Monday evening with a discussion that helped nail down the charter, parameters and timeline for the project. The conversation is still taking place at a high planning level; groundbreaking on the facility is years away.

As the overall U.S.
infrastructure grade rose over the past four years, roads lagged behind, and bridges saw a drop in score.
Road conditions across the country rated a “D” in the 2021 Infrastructure Report Card by the
American Society of Civil Engineers released March 3. That marks no improvement from the last report card in 2017.
“Forty percent of the roads in the United States are in poor or fair condition,” said Maria Lehman, ASCE report card committee member. “And some of them are local roads, not all interstates.”
