This project was awarded approximately $1 million from the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) All Roads Transportation Safety (ARTS) grant program in 2018. It was selected for construction in the 2021-2024 State-wide Improvement Program (STIP) funding cycle. Grants were awarded using traffic crash data to select projects that would improve safety at a high level relative to cost.
We selected this intersection for the grant program based on:
- Available crash data showing a high number of rear-end and westbound left-turn crashes.
- Safety benefit compared to the cost to construct, which met ARTS grant program criteria. This contributed to the success of our nearly $1 million grant award
- Community feedback
