The Transportation Bureau received great news from the Oregon Transportation Commission. The OTC announced that our North Williams Avenue Traffic Operations and Safety Project was awarded $1.47 million in grant funds. This sum will make the project possible, with design work scheduled to begin this summer and, weather permitting, construction to begin in spring or summer 2014.

The Transportation Bureau began working to modernize North Williams with a dedicated advisory committee two years ago. Their insight and commitment made it a better project than the one envisioned at the beginning.

Check out the Final Report and Recommendations on our website to see how the street will be changing.

Thank you ODOT, our Stakeholder Advisory Committee members and those who live, work and travel North Williams.
