Transportation Development Review and Capital Standard Plans (Details)

Transportation Standard Details are provided for the purpose of construction standards and requirements for City of Vancouver projects. Engineering plans for private development projects that affect streets shall include all applicable Transportation Standard Details.

The Transportation Standard Details have been grouped into sections of similar street features. The format of the details is intended to allow individual details to be added, deleted or superseded.

Please note that as of March 1, 2024, multiple details have been updated. Electronic copies of the details are available in Adobe Acrobat (PDF format). For ACAD 2018 files, please contact cody.cumpton@cityofvancouver.us or call 360-487-7715.

Hard copies of the current details are available upon request as noted above from the Public Works Construction and Engineering Office, 11018 NE 51st Cir., and at the city’s Community Development department, 415 W. 6th Street. Please submit your request by phone or email 24 hours prior to pickup, as copies are printed only when requested and are not kept in stock.

Do Not Alter Standard Details.

Transportation’s General Notes and Grading Notes

Capital Improvement projects require the details to be part of the plans. Private development civil plans require inclusion of the Transportation general notes which incorporate by reference the current Transportation Standard Details and effective date. Applicable T10 series details must be part of the civil plans. All other standard details may be included in the civil plans as an option.

Suggestions and comments are welcomed. Please submit comments to City of Vancouver, Department of Public Works, P.O. Box 1995, Vancouver WA 98668-1995.
