185th Avenue Paving Scheduled Week of May 14 – Expect Delays
185th Project Vicinity Map

Crews plan to pave 185th Avenue between West Union and Westview High the week of May 14. Expect delays and use alternate routes to avoid the work area during paving hours.

The paving schedule is as follows:                
  • Monday, May 14 – 8:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
  • Tuesday, May 15 - 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
  • Wednesday, May 16 - 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
  • Thursday, May 17 - 8:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
  • Friday, May 18 - 8:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.

This work is weather dependent and conditions must be appropriate for paving to occur.

During paving, one lane of traffic in each direction will generally remain open on 185th Avenue. The traffic signals at West Union Road and Westview High School will need to be shut down during this work, but flaggers will route traffic through as quickly as possible. The public’s patience is greatly appreciated.

Highlights for the week ending May 18, 2012 (posted 5/11/12)
Time to get out your bicycle!

With the sunny warm weather sticking around, what better time to dust off your bike, grab your helmet and start pedaling around the county! The month of May is National Bike Month, after all. Make it a goal to ride your bike to one new place this month, whether it is up the street to the local coffee shop, or out at the Banks-Vernonia State Trail. Familiarize yourself with the new route before you go and always follow the rules of the road for cyclists. Most importantly, enjoy your ride!
 
The 2012 Hippie Chick Half and Quarter Marathon will be held this Saturday, May 12. The course will route runners along Brookwood Parkway, Meek, Sewell, Evergreen, Jackson School and Old Scotch Church roads, starting at 8 a.m. Expect delays during the race or use alternate routes.

Take a few minutes to complete a survey for the TV Highway Corridor Plan and the Aloha-Reedville Study and Livable Community Plan. Your valuable input will help shape the TV Highway Corridor Plan and will inform continuing discussions about improving opportunities in your community for the future of Aloha-Reedville. The survey is available until Tuesday, May 15.

The Basalt Creek Transportation Refinement Plan open house is next Wednesday, May 16 at Tualatin High School Commons. The public is welcome to stop by any time between 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. to learn more about the concepts. Read the media release for more details.

Celebrate National Public Works Week by attending the Washington County Public Works Fair at Washington Square on May 19 and 20. Kids can win prizes and take home fun educational materials. Grownups will find brochures and handouts, and well informed public works staff who can answer their questions.

Several Adopt-A-Road volunteer groups plan to pick up litter this weekend and next week:

  • Pacific Drive/Hwy 99 from Cipole to Herman (The Stobie’s)
  • 185th Avenue from Farmington to Gassner (Mountain View LDS Youth)
  • Brookwood Parkway from Evergreen to Meek (TOK America)
  • Cornelius Pass Road from West Union to Germantown (Tanasbourne Dental Care)
Thank you, volunteers!
 
Drainage maintenance crews are working on Evers and Shadybrook roads. Vegetation maintenance crews are working on Beef Bend, Firdale and Hardeback roads. Surface maintenance crews will be performing pavement patch work on Lebeau Road and crews will continue repairing guardrails on Jarrell Road. Community Service workers are maintaining landscaping on Brookwood Parkway.
 
Don’t forget to take our quick survey by May 31 to give your input on whether land use, safety, street networking density or social equity is more important to prioritizing bicycle and pedestrian system improvements. View the completed suitability mapping at the Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Prioritization Project website.
