Dear Tillamook Neighborhood Greenway stakeholders,
Thank you to everyone who provided thoughtful feedback on the Tillamook Neighborhood Greenway Enhancement Project. I’m writing to share an update with you about the final project design and the project’s next steps.
Construction will take place in phases and begin in Spring 2019.
Enhancements to the Tillamook Neighborhood Greenway will include:
| Flint and Vancouver and Tillamook |
Marked crosswalks |
| Martin Luther King Jr. and Tillamook |
Bike box safety design |
| 7th and Tillamook |
Speed bumps, additional signage and crosswalk markings |
| 21st and Tillamook |
Median pedestrian islands and bicycle markings crossing safety design |
| 24th and Tillamook |
Signed crossing |
| Full length of Tillamook between Flint and 28th |
Shared roadway markings and signing, speed bumps to slow vehicles to 20 mph, turning or adding stop signs to favor Greenway, parking removal where necessary for visibility |
Will the project include traffic diversion on Tillamook between Williams and Martin Luther King Jr.?
We will be collecting additional volume data in this area before testing a traffic diverter on Tillamook. We haven’t been able to update this data because the Bureau of Environmental Services’ Eliot Sewer and Stormwater Project has been affecting travel patterns. We will collect data after the conclusion of the stormwater project this summer and share more information with this email list about the information collected and next steps at that time.
Project construction timeline
Construction will take place in phases, beginning in Spring 2019. Work will be completed by PBOT Maintenance Operations staff. Construction between Flint and Martin Luther King Jr. will not begin until the conclusion of the Eliot Sewer and Stormwater Project. We hope to finish all work in 2019, though the schedule can be delayed by weather.
Spring 2019 - Phase 1:
Marked crosswalks and signage at 7th and Tillamook.
Signed crossing at 24th and Tillamook.
Marked crosswalks at Flint and Vancouver (depending on BES stormwater project schedule).
On-street parking removal for vision clearance at intersections and projects.
Bike boxes at Martin Luther King Jr.
Phase 2:
Crosswalk and cross-bike striping at 21st and Tillamook.
Speed bumps and turning of stop signs to favor Greenway.
Phase 3:
21st and Tillamook pedestrian islands and curb ramps construction.
Thank you again for your interest. Please visit our project webpage for more information and be in touch if you have any questions.
Best,
Liz
