Fwd: Safety improvements start late February in downtown Corvallis!

[Wendy Byrne]

Hello Vision Zero Friends-

Here is the ODOT update about good projects coming to the intersections at Harrison and 2nd/3rd/4th as well as Tyler and 2nd/3rd... please check this out for the details. Note that on Harrison, ODOT will be constructing a PROTECTED bike lane for bikers traveling west-bound along Harrison thru the madness of those busy intersections... this is great news and I'm excited to have our ODOT dollars spent on this.

Learn about the improvements we're doing on OR 99W and U.S. 20.

Road Work Alert Plan ahead: safety and accessibility improvements begin in February We're working on Harrison Boulevard and Tyler Avenue at  OR 99W and U.S. 20 in downtown Corvallis Whether you drive, ride, walk or roll, we're making important upgrades to improve safety for everyone!  Work has started off the road, but in late February you can expect: Crews working nights, Sunday through Thursday. Shoulder and lane closures with flaggers helping direct traffic as needed. Construction noise and delays. Businesses to remain open during construction. Here's what we are doing New traffic signals on Harrison Boulevard at NW 2nd Street and NW 3rd Street. Upgraded ADA curb ramps to make them more accessible so it's easier for everyone to move between the sidewalk and road. Truck apron installation to make it easier for large trucks to turn onto NW 3rd Street. Truck aprons provide extra space for a truck’s large wheels when turning, making it safer for the truck and other vehicles on the road. Separated bike lane along Harrison Boulevard from 2nd Street to 4th Street, making it safer for cyclists to enjoy the ride. Bulb-outs for shorter crossings at Tyler Avenue and NW 3rd Street. Bulb-outs make curbs longer and shorten the distance for pedestrians crossing the street. Median separator installation at Tyler Avenue and NW 2nd Street to help keep cross traffic in check, improving safety for everyone.
