Pavement Repair - City crews are out saw cutting and paving in Picks Landing, Bull Mountain, and the City Hall parking lot. This is in preparation for slurry seal this summer.

Bull Mountain Road - Washington County is adding a 5-foot sidewalk on the east side of Bull Mountain Road, between Nemarnik Drive and 155th Terrace, and on the north side of Bull Mountain Road, between 155th Terrace and Grandview Lane. Construction has begun with an anticipated completion date of July 15. Traffic will be reduced to one lane intermittently, 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m. weekdays. See https://www.wc-roads.com/ for more information.

Beef Bend east of Roy Rogers Road - Construction is ongoing on the sewer line being installed on Beef Bend Road. Beef Bend Road has been reopened but will have flagged lane closures during the day while the crews clean up. They will return in late spring/early summer to repave the road. Visit www.getusthere.org for more information.

OR 99W Sidewalk Project: SW Royalty Parkway to SW Durham Road - ODOT, in partnership with King City, plans to construct new sidewalk on OR 99W (Pacific Highway) and on SW Royalty Parkway.  Work has begun and is expected to continue through May. During construction, road users should expect daytime and nighttime work. There will be single-lane and shoulder closures on OR 99W and on Royalty Parkway as well as short-term sidewalk closures, with ADA-approved pedestrian detours. Nearby residents may hear intermittent nighttime noise. More information can be found on the project website at https://www.oregon.gov/odot/projects/pages/project-details.aspx?project=18807

Cook Park Sewer Line - A portion of Clean Water Services’ West Durham Basin Improvement Program has started at Cook Park. The project is replacing aging sewer interceptor pipes that help control water flow with larger, more resilient pipes to improve wastewater capacity. Truck traffic, trail closures and detours at the park are planned through April 2019. The east parking lot has been repaved and is now open. The west parking lot will remain under construction until June 2019. Work began near the wastewater plant and progresses westward. More info is on the CWS website: http://www.cleanwaterservices.org/about-us/projects/west-durham-basin-improvement-program/

Fanno Creek Trail – Woodard Park to Tiedeman Ave - The new bridge and trail connecting the Fanno Creek Trail straight from Woodard Park across the creek to the existing crosswalk on Tiedeman Avenue is now open.  This project completed a missing link of the Fanno Creek Greenway Trail, provided an ADA accessible route where it did not exist before, increased trail safety by lining the trail up with a safe crosswalk, and provided a very clear definition of the regional trail route at Tiedeman Avenue. Most of the project was paid for with a generous $800,000 grant from Metro. Upcoming projects in this location include safety changes at the crosswalk, adding refuge islands and more visible lighting.  As soon as a long enough stretch of rain free weather happens, a new mural will also be painted on the retaining wall and bridge foundation to add character to the trail and to help discourage graffiti.

Dirksen Nature Park - Construction is in the final stages on a nature play area in Dirksen Nature Park south of Tigard Street. The Fanno Creek Trail and the Nature Park are open. The restroom facility is open. Portions of the trail and park may have short-term closures as construction wraps up. The new playground structure has been installed.
