Federal stimulus funds new Halsey Street sidewalks
New sidewalks are coming to a section of NE Halsey Street in Wood Village, thanks to funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. A grant to Multnomah County from the federal stimulus bill will pay for new sidewalks along Halsey St. between NE 238th Drive and NE 244th Ave.
Multnomah County, through the Oregon Department of Transportation, is in the process of selecting a private contractor to build the new sidewalks. A construction schedule will be determined after the contractor is selected. Construction is expected to last four to six weeks. Traffic will be maintained on Halsey St. at all times. There may be brief delays accessing some properties during the work.
A public meeting has been scheduled to share more information about the project and answer any questions residents and businesses may have. The meeting will be:
Monday, September 21, 6 pm
Wood Village City Hall, 2055 NE 238th Drive
For further information please contact Gregory Kirby, Project Manager or Brian Vincent, County Engineer at 503-988-5050. For information about Multnomah County transportation, visit www.multco.us/roads.
Individuals with a disability requiring special assistance at the public meeting please call 503-988-6804, TTY 503-988-5040 (at least 48 hours in advance).
