Frequently Asked Questions

As part of Yakima County's preliminary engineering activities, County crews use survey equipment and "survey stakes" along the prospective project area to mark the extents of County right-of-way, utility location(s), planned or existing landmarks, and projected property acquisition areas. This process aids in designing the new project.

Yakima County strives to keep adjacent property owners and affected stakeholders informed on the status of its road projects. Through public meetings and correspondence prior to the start of a project, Public Services aims to provide the most accurate schedule information of construction activities, utility interruptions, and access restrictions.
