In many cases future sidewalks may be located entirely within the public road right-of-way, with no direct impacts to adjacent parcels. In these cases, any features in the public right-of-way are subject to removal with no compensation.
The three levels of environmental review for FHWA are categorical exclusion, environmental assessment, and environmental impact statement. The initial recommendation for this project is a “categorical exclusion.” More information can be found on the Federal Highway Administration website and in Oregon Department of Transportation NEPA Manual.
Adding a sidewalk separate from the roadway and ADA-compliant curb ramps are the items considered and included in the scope for this pedestrian safety improvement project.
Reports to be submitted include:
Please note, the Basalt Creek Parkway Extension Project is also producing technical reports such as a hydraulics report and a geotechnical report.
Residential streets, such as Ridge Road, serve all travelers: bicyclists, pedestrians and drivers. They are designed for, and intended to, accommodate traffic speeds of 25 mph and provide connectivity.
The Washington County Neighborhood Streets Program (NSP) assists residential neighborhoods with speeding and other livability concerns related to traffic. The program begins with lawn signs and radar equipment which provide driver feedback on speed. In areas where appropriate, the program can include other tools such as speed cushions or post-mounted speed feedback signs.
In support of this program, Washington County will conduct a speed and traffic volume study within six months of the gate removal. This study will establish a baseline to help us determine if participation in the Neighborhood Streets Program is warranted.
A stop sign will be installed on existing Thompson Road (Old Thompson Road) where it intersects Kenny Terrace (new Thompson Road). There will be a clear line of sight in both directions.
Development is unrelated to the road project. For more information, contact Hillsboro’s Planning Department at 503-681-6153.
Possible deterrents are being investigated.
These trees appear to be in the right-of-way and may be removed if the north side of Alden Street is selected as the location for the sidewalk. We have hired a licensed arborist to help make this determination. If other vegetation is in the right-of-way, they may need to be removed depending on the placement of the sidewalk.
A noise study will be conducted to determine expected noise impacts.
Models project traffic on Century Boulevard between Main Street and Cornell Road will increase by 15-20% when the bridge opens. This is about one additional vehicle per minute in each direction.
When South Hillsboro is fully built traffic on this section of road is expected to be 25-30% more than in 2019, about two additional vehicles per minute in each direction.
When a project is in the concept stage, there are general guidelines from the funding authority regarding project scope, including a side for construction. However, the project design team walks the project location and completes survey of the project area. Then, a decision is made regarding which side to construct the sidewalk on one side or another. Other variables must also be considered when selecting which side to build a sidewalk, including:
As the design has advanced, we determined the sidewalk will be placed on the south side of Downing Street-Butner Road.

Highway 47 is under the jurisdiction of the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). Elm Street is under the city of Forest Grove's jurisdiction. B Street is under the County's jurisdiction. Fern Hill Road is a County road and Maple Street is a city street. Together, our agencies conducted a Road Safety Audit along this corridor. The findings from these reports where used to update the city of Forest Grove's Transportation System Plan. The projects will be recommended for funding and complete alongside other projects in the district, the County and the state.
The Highway 47, Fern Hill Road and Maple Street intersection has been funded for design and is being considered for construction through MSTIP. The project cannot be built until we have construction funding.
As these projects are still in the design phase, we don't yet have a firm number of impacted trees. We've hired a licensed arborist to help us make this determination.
One of the goals of the Urban Road Maintenance District (URMD) Fund is to add or infill sidewalk on eligible roads in urban unincorporated Washington County. The project candidate list currently has 200 proposed sites. Over the last five fiscal years, the Road Fund has completed roughly seven projects per fiscal year. To make funding available for more candidate projects, typically sidewalk are only added on one side of the road through the candidate project site.
Utilizing the existing sections of sidewalks is one of the many criteria we use in determining sidewalk placements. We typically prefer options where there is already a large number of existing sidewalk sections.
Budget is often a primary consideration that limits ability to build on both sides of a road at the same time. Sometimes other considerations are reviewed (see above for sidewalk placement considerations).
