Greeting again,

I received several "bounced" warnings that one document was too large to send. So let's try this again with a low resolution version attached. Thank you for your patience!

Cheers, Steve

Greetings everyone,

The preview materials are available (see attached) for the public for "Public Forum on the Corvallis Pavement Rehabilitation Program: NE Circle Boulevard - Reconstruction/Resurfacing Project." (Public Works sent me the attached documents two days ago.)

See below for a description of the March 14 (Noon) Zoom event. Please register ASAP so that you get the Zoom link to the public forum. Also, please feel free to forward these documents to anyone else you think might be interested?

Register in advance for this webinar:

Just a reminder, we can ask questions and share comments and concerns DURING the public forum and send them in for a week AFTER. Public Works is also interested in getting as many comments, questions, and concerns BEFORE the public forum so that they can address them directly in their presentation.

If you want to send them in prior to the meeting, please email Josh B. and Josh C of Public Works. Here is there contact info:

Thank you! Steve

Greetings everyone,
The sustainability coalition’s Transportation Action Team (TAT) will be hosting a recurring public forum about upcoming pavement rehabilitation projects in Corvallis. The 50-minute forum will begin with Corvallis Public Works staff presenting an overview of the scope, budget, and design of the project and then followed by a moderated discussion. The discussion will provide an opportunity for city staff to get feedback from residents interested in active transportation, multi-modal street and intersection design, and the transportation system.

This inaugural forum will be focused on the “NE Circle Boulevard - Reconstruction/Resurfacing Project”. It will be conducted ONLINE ONLY as a Zoom webinar. For those that cannot attend, the forum will be recorded and made available for public viewing. Here are the details for registering and attending:

Public Forum on the Corvallis Pavement Rehabilitation Program:
NE Circle Boulevard - Reconstruction/Resurfacing Project
Date: March 14, 2023
Time: 12:00 – 12:50 PM

Register in advance for this webinar:
https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_-vWuPNjASjea2jt4sIcEdw

(After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.)

Corvallis Public Works staff will provide project overview materials on March 8. This will allow time for city residents to study the project prior to the forum. Questions and concerns about the project can be submitted at three different times: 1) PRIOR to the meeting, which allows city staff time to address them in their presentation; 2) DURING the forum, through the zoom Q&A; and 3) in the week AFTER the forum, so those viewing the recordings will still be able to provide informed feedback. Questions and concerns submitted during the Zoom Q&A, but not addressed, will be organized by the TAT and submitted to Corvallis Public Works staff.

The project presented in this forum has already been scoped and budgeted by city staff and cannot be substantially modified. However, city staff are interested in understanding the questions, concerns, and multimodal experiences of residents within the project area, and this feedback could lead to improvements that fit within the project scope and budget. Depending on the issues raised in the forum, there could be a follow-up meeting to close any open questions.

This is a public forum and all residents are invited. TAT outreach will include the Corvallis Sustainability Coalition and its action teams, Vision Zero group, Streets Are For Everyone (SAFE) Corvallis, Corvallis Bicycle Collective, and Mid Valley Bicycle Club. The city may promote this forum through their Public Information Office and neighborhood associations. You can also help with outreach by forwarding this invitation to anyone who may be interested.
