New Maps!

The City of Richland has launched a new Map and GIS site for its residents, customers and contractors. With the launch of this new service, the City has added a much anticipated interactive utility map with assets including water, sewer, irrigation, and power infrastructure. The maps also include 2022 aerial imagery with parcel and utility overlay.

To view a variety of maps for the City of Richland, please visit our GIS Maps page. For best results, please use Google Chrome.

Transportation Planning Projects

The Cities of Richland and West Richland, along with Benton County and the Washington State Department of Transportation, worked with a consultant team to study north-south transportation connectivity with the goal of increasing mobility and reducing travel times both locally and regionally. For more information on this effort, visit its Project Page.

Richland's Downtown Connectivity Study was developed to advance the City Council's vision for a pedestrian-friendly waterfront and downtown, while maintaining or enhancing the vehicular travel flow through downtown. This project evaluated George Washington Way between Williams Boulevard and Bradley Boulevard. For more information on the Downtown Connectivity Study, you may visit its Project Page
