OR 8: Canyon Road Pedestrian Safety Project

Design Phase

Region 1: Portland metro and Hood River County (Beaverton, Washington)

​​​​​​​​​​A partnership project between ODOT and the City of Beaverton is under way to improve SW Canyon Road (OR 8) from SW 117th Avenue/SW Broadway Street and SW Cedar Hills Boulevard in Central Beaverton. Construction is expected to begin in 2025.​

Impacts

Construction Impacts

​​Once​ construction begins in 2025, up-to-date traffic impacts will be available on this website and on www.tripcheck.com.​

In order to maintain a safe work zone for travelers and construction crews during construction, travel lanes on OR 8 will close on various nights and during off-peak travel hours. Emergency vehicles will have access through work zones. Traffic impacts will also include shoulder closures and short-term sidewalk closures with ADA-accessible pedestrian detours.

Expect periodic construction noise, mostly from heavy equipment and construction trucks (ex: required vehicle reverse noises) and other equipment such as paving machines, generators and compressors. Those working or living near the work areas may hear construction noise. A nighttime noise hotline for any noise-related concerns will be available 24/7.

Schedule

2023-2024: project design/engineering​
2025: construction​

About

Project elements:
  • Add a crosswalk and a Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) on Canyon Road at Rose Biggi Avenue.  A flashing beacon is a pedestrian-activated flashing light at a marked crosswalk to help alert motorists that a pedestrian is crossing the street.
  • Add a landscaped center median on Canyon Road between Watson Street and Cedar Hills Boulevard, with a gap at SW Rose Biggi Avenue for the new enhanced pedestrian crosswalk.
  • Upgrade the traffic signals, ADA sidewalk curb ramps  and lighting in the project area.
  • Add a new crosswalk and ADA-accessilbe sidewalk curb ramps across Canyon Road at Cedar Hills Boulevard on the west side of the intersection.
​
BACKGROUND
The City of Beaverton adopted the Beaverton Community Vision in 2010, which calls for a revitalized, walkable and safe downtown.  The Canyon Road Streetscape Project is designed with this vision in mind.  The goal is to enhance the existing streetscape by creating a sense of place with trees, sidewalks, center medians and a new crosswalk.  The new streetscape will increase pedestrian connectivity between the Creekside District and Old Town in Central Beaverton. It will also improve highway safety, signal operations, and access to transit on Canyon Road. 
​
The City worked to develop a concept with ODOT, Metro and stakeholders through a series of public meetings. The project is now moving from concept to design and engineering stage, with construction in 2025.
