Multnomah County Transportation has been awarded a Transportation and Growth Management grant to create a Conceptual Road Design Plan which will identify bicycle and pedestrian improvements along the Scholls Ferry corridor from Sunset Highway (Highway 26) through the City of Portland to the Washington County line.

This project will identify ways to improve Scholls Ferry, which is constrained by steep slopes. It will explore the potential for widening the roadway to accommodate bike lanes/sidewalks and consider opportunities or constraints to providing alternative bike and/or pedestrian facilities on a parallel street network in the study area. Furthermore the project will identify treatments to address stormwater runoff that results from increased impervious surface, and develop a concept-level design for improvements, which will be the basis for preliminary engineering and construction of improvements.

A Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) has been created. The TAC includes technical staff from Multnomah County Transportation Engineering, ODOT, TriMet, Metro, Clean Water Services, the City of Portland Bike and Pedestrian Programs and Multnomah County Bike/Pedestrian Advisory Committee. The TAC will meet four times over the next five months and will provide County staff and the consultant, Parametrix, with valuable information and project direction.
