E. Clackamas Boulevard Improvements

E. Clackamas Boulevard along Cross Park is currently designated as a one way street from First St. to Cornell Ave.,  and back to First St. There have been multiple safety concerns in this area due to vehicles going the wrong way. There is a fairly large amount of foot and bicycle traffic as well. This project is designed with vehicle traffic, bicycle traffic, and pedestrian traffic in mind.

During the Summer 2021 Public Works project cycle, this one way will remain on E. Clackamas Boulevard and half of Cornell Avenue between E. Clackamas Boulevard and First Street.  The northern half of Cornell Avenue from First Street to mid-block will become a two way street. To accomplish this,  the head in parking (eight parking spaces) on the northern half of Cornell Avenue will become parallel parking (three parking spaces). This will allow the traffic from the two businesses on Cornell Avenue to enter from First Street onto Cornell Avenue instead of driving around several blocks through the park. This will reduce congestion in the park. New signage and striping is the bulk of this project.
