About
The Cottage Grove Urban Design Verification (UDV) project identified potential solutions to make the road safer and easier to travel on for everyone, including people walking, rolling, driving and biking on OR 99 south of Main Street in Cottage Grove.
Potential solutions could include:
- Identifying dedicated bicycle lanes or routes.
- Adding more space for turning.
- Enhancing pedestrian facilities and crossing, like new paint, pedestrian activated signals, new lights, etc.
Why is this study happening now?
We studied this section of OR 99 to see how it can be improved before any future maintenance or other projects are planned. With this study, we can look for funding to include the improvements along with other necessary work to make best use of our limited resources.
For example, if we have a project to upgrade the curb ramps along this stretch to meet current ADA standards, we might also be able to improve other things like places where people cross the road. We defined these desired improvements as part of the UDV study.
Curious why we focused on this section of OR 99?
We picked this area for the study because with parks, schools and neighborhoods nearby there is a lot of pedestrian and bicyclist traffic. The roads are wide and can be hard to cross. We also already have projects planned nearby and there are possible grant opportunities available that could help us secure funding for future projects.
