Washington County invites the public to attend a combined open house on March 2, 2015 for the 119th Avenue, Cornell Road and Thompson Road safety improvement projects. The event will be held at the Cedar Mill Library, 12505 NW Cornell Road. The public is invited to drop in anytime between 5 and 7 p.m. to learn more about the proposed improvements for all three projects. Project staff will be available to answer questions and solicit comments. No formal presentation is planned. The 119th Avenue project includes the installation of pedestrian curb ramps on the east side of the intersection at Lovejoy Street. The Cornell Road project will construct a widened shoulder on the north side of the roadway between 97th Avenue and 102nd Avenue. The Thompson Road project will construct a widened shoulder on the north side of the roadway between 143rd Avenue and Bronson Creek Drive along with a separated pedestrian path between Bronson Creek Drive and Evergreen Street.
All three projects are funded through the Urban Road Maintenance District (URMD) Safety Improvement Program. Construction is anticipated to begin this summer.
