County Roads Take Me Home stickerProjects funded through the new Community Road Fund will increase safety, relieve congestion and maintain local roads.

Status

Design phase 

Updated: May 16, 2023

Improving safety for students who walk and bike to school 

When the sun doesn’t shine for multiple days in a row, the solar powered school flashing beacons may not have enough power to operate reliably. We will connect the signs to power utilities at seven locations throughout the county.  

Flashing signs will be upgraded at: 

  • Courtney Ave at Oak Grove Elementary 
  • River Road at Jennings Lodge Elementary
  • River Road at Riverside Elementary
  • 152nd Ave at Oregon Trail Elementary
  • Webster Road at Alder Creek Middle School
  • 242nd Ave at Lewis and Clark Charter School
  • 172nd Ave at Scouters Mountain Elementary

Why

To maintain reliable operations, provide safer roadways for all users and to reduce maintenance costs.

Schedule

  • Design: January 2023 to August 2023
  • Construction: Fall 2023 to Summer 2024

Traffic impact

Expect shoulder and lane closures with minimal delays during construction.
