NE Front Street Improvements

Project Description: 

The project will include the reconstruction of N.E. Front Street from N. Main Street to Olson Road, as well as extensions of N.E. 3rd Street, N.E. 4th Street, and Boardman Avenue N.E. The project consists of reconstructing/constructing asphalt concrete surfaces, curb and gutter, concrete sidewalk, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) curb ramps. The project also includes storm drainage improvements and new street lighting. ADA curb ramps will be developed to meet current ADA standards. All other aspects of the project will be constructed according to City standards. 

Project Justification: 

N.E. Front Street needs to be reconstructed due to the road’s poor condition. This road has areas of instability with poor ride quality; extensive transverse, longitudinal, and alligator cracking with trench settlement and/or potholes; drainage problems; and obvious evidence of structural deficiencies. Reconstruction of this road will ensure the roadway is functional for the community and area. Along with ADA curb ramps, sidewalk improvements will benefit the public by allowing greater mobility to the area for future development.
