Comments sought on potential pedestrian crossing locations
The four high-traffic roads were selected from the County's
Transportation System Plan for further analysis using the County Mid-block Crossing Policy. The Arterial Pedestrian Crossing Analyses
draft report includes recommendations for enhanced crossing treatments at each of the
12 potential crossing sites for near and long-term implementation. The analysis considered both existing and future traffic conditions, pedestrian and bicycle use and nearby destinations.
The online open house will be available through Aug. 31 at
pedcrossings.com. Participants can comment on as many of the 12 potential crossing locations as they choose. Each potential location crossing comment page includes a summary of proposed crossing treatments.
Comments received will aid staff in developing a final list of crossing sites for consideration and possible implementation as future, larger road projects are designed and constructed.

Grand opening celebration planned for David Hill Road Extension and Roundabout
The event is hosted by Washington County Department of Land Use & Transportation (LUT) and the city of Forest Grove. A brief program including remarks from Washington County District 4 Commissioner Bob Terry, Forest Grove Mayor Peter Truax and LUT Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinator Shelley Oylear will kick off the event.
Following the program, attendees are invited to bike, hike, roll and stroll the new roadway in celebration of the Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant bicycle-pedestrian facilities.
Bike Hike Roll Stroll is Washington County's new active transportation program. There will be healthy snacks, water bottles and bags of traffic-safety materials for children following the walk.
During the event, the newly constructed portion of David Hill Road, east of Brook Street to Hwy 47, will be closed to through traffic. To access the event from Hwy 47, head southwest on Sunset Drive, west on Bonnie Lane and north on Main Street. Flaggers will assist with parking.
