Brown Road Improvements/Upgrades
The Brown Road Improvements Project was identified in the Transportation System Master Plan as Urban Upgrade Project UU-03, and approved in the West Side Urban Renewal Plan.
Field data collection has begun along Brown Road. Residents may observe surveyors, survey stakes and paint marks along the corridor.
This project, scheduled to be completed in 2026, provides urban upgrades to bring Brown Road in closer alignment with the City's standards for urban roadways. The section to be upgraded includes approximately 1,800 feet of roadway from SW Wilsonville Rd. to SW Evergreen Dr.
The planned upgrades will improve connectivity by adding a shared use path and reconstructing the road to accommodate better and safer access to adjacent neighborhoods.
This project is to be informed by the input of neighbors and other interested parties. The next opportunity to learn more and weigh in comes at a Dec. 3 open house (see details below).
FAQ
What does the Brown Road Improvements Project entail?
While project managers anticipate that public engagement will inform the roadway design, anticipated improvements include the addition of bike lanes, sidewalks, and turn lanes that accommodate safer access to adjacent neighborhoods.
When does construction begin?
Construction is currently anticipated to begin in Spring 2026.
How will construction impact neighbors?
The goal is to accommodate urban upgrades within the existing public right of way to the extent it is possible. As the City engages with neighbors and interested parties, the project team will evaluate design alternatives and share how they would impact residents. As construction nears, a construction plan will be developed to minimize construction impacts.
How will the City keep the community informed and engaged in the project?
The City is committed to keeping neighbors, the traveling public, and the broader community informed about the project and its impacts. Expect updates to the project web page, targeted mailings, fliers, and/or door hangers to those in/near the project area, social media, public open houses, and articles in the Boones Ferry Messenger.
