Open House—Murray & Cornell Road Projects

[Ed. Note: These open houses are a great way for citizens to find out what’s being planned, ask questions and have your input heard by the people responsible for the projects. We will all be impacted by these projects, so plan to attend now rather than complain later!]

The community is invited to attend an open house for the following proposed Washington County roadway projects:

Cornell Road/143rd Avenue to Science Park Drive

This project will add a traffic signal at the Cornell/Science Park Drive intersection and add intersection turn lanes. Construction will start in 2008.

Murray Blvd/Highway 26 to Cornell Road

This project will widen Murray Blvd to five lanes and add turn lanes at the Murray/Cornell intersection. A Stakeholder Working Group has been meeting during 2007 to give recommendations to the planning team. The Land Use application was submitted late last year, and construction will start in summer, 2008.

The open house will be on Thursday, February 28th 5:30pm - 7:30pm at the Christ Methodist Church located at 12755 NW Dogwood Street. All are welcome and encouraged to attend. Washington County staff and staff of consulting engineer WRG Design, Inc., and consulting traffic engineer Kittelson and Associates, Inc., will be available to provide information and answer questions.

The open house is structured so that individuals can come and view the materials and ask questions at any point between 5:30pm and 7:30pm. If you have any questions about the open house please contact Michael Cerbone (WRG) at (503) 419 2500.
