Nehalem and Wheeler Urban Design Verification Study

We're partnering with the cities of Nehalem and Wheeler to identify safety improvements that can be constructed as part of future projects when funding allows.

Our goal is to identify practical, community-supported improvements that make it safer and easier for people to walk, roll, bike and cross the highway.

We want to hear from you!

Fill out our survey before it closes on Nov. 22, to share how you move on U.S. 101 in your community.

Join us – your feedback matters
