Major road work on Summitview Avenue in Yakima starts on Monday. The project will resurface parts of Summitview Avenue and replace curb ramps and could impact the short  commute in Yakima. City officials say drivers will see lane closures on Summitview Avenue from 40th Avenue to 48th Avenue and 56th Avenue to 72nd Avenue during project 7:00 am to 5:30 pm on weekdays through the end of the month.

The work is expected to continue into October

The work and the traffic impacts are expected to extend through Thursday, October 6th. Drivers are reminded the speed limit through all traffic-related work zones within the City of Yakima is 20 miles-per-hour.City officials say because of heavy traffic volume, drivers can expect delays in the project area. Access to homes and businesses in the project area will be maintained as best as possible.

A tree removal project will also impact traffic on Monday

Also on Monday a section of 16th Avenue will be reduced to one lane for a tree removal project at Milroy Park.
A city news release says northbound traffic on 16th Avenue will be one lane between Browne Avenue and Lincoln Avenue during the work from 6:00 am to 4:00 pm Monday. The sidewalk along that section of 16th Avenue will be closed during the project.
“The trees are at the end of their lifecycle and have become a potential hazard to Milroy Park users as well as those traveling along 16th Avenue,” says Parks & Recreation Manager Ken Wilkinson. Because of heavy traffic volume, drivers can expect delays in the project area. Drivers should use alternate routes if possible until the work is completed.

LOOK: See how much gasoline cost the year you started driving

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.

Read on to explore the cost of gas over time and rediscover just how much a gallon was when you first started driving.

LOOK: Here are the 50 best beach towns in America

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.
