Farmington Road Corridor Concept Plan, OR
Reimagines the 2.1-mile segment between 209th Avenue and Kinnaman Road
Quick Facts
Farmington Road serves as a vital east-west corridor in an Aloha community with average daily traffic exceeding 18,000 vehicles and ranked in the 95th percentile of pedestrian and bicycle deficiencies within the ODOT network
Corridor alternatives considered a wide range of challenges based on stakeholder and community feedback – bicycle facilities, stormwater management, maintenance needs, transit service integration, and curb management solutions
Results
Shows how targeted data analysis, inclusive outreach, and expanded alternative design considerations can result in a widely supported plan to be carried forward to the jurisdictional transfer process and design phase
Demonstrates how to retrofit a high-volume corridor, transitioning from rural to urban context, that addresses community needs for multimodal safety and future growth without major expansion on the entire corridor
Our Work
Led a multidisciplinary team to develop a planning-level context-sensitive street design concept to advance funding conversations and inform a future agreement to transfer jurisdiction of this segment of Farmington Road from ODOT to Washington County
Applied a diverse set of evaluation criteria, prioritizing vulnerable user comfort and safety over traditional motor vehicle metrics, resulting in a preferred concept with vehicle capacity improvements at critical locations only
