This project will increase accessibility by using accessible design standards to improve sidewalk ramps throughout the city. This project includes the removal of non-ADA compliant ramps and the construction of new ramps, which will be ADA compliant. 

The project will take place in many areas including the near following intersections:

• Roswell Street & 36th, 40th, 41st Avenue
• 36th Avenue & Barba Street
• Olsen Street & 40th, 41st Avenue
• Johnson Creek Boulevard & Flavel Drive

This project will improve safety at the intersection of SE King Road and 42^nd Avenue. Currently, only the eastbound leg of King Road is stop controlled with all other turning movements remaining uncontrolled and free flowing. The left turn from the westbound leg of King Road, the left turn from the northbound leg of King Road, and the through movement from the eastbound leg of King Road all pose significant risk for drivers navigating the intersection.

The Waverly South project will provide street and utility improvements to the Waverly South area.  Street improvements will include repaving of deteriorated sections of Lava Drive and Waverly Court, and ADA upgrades to select sidewalks and ramps.  Utility improvements include upsizing of a water main on Riverway Lane from 2-inch to 6-inch, and rehabilitation of a sewer main compromised by tree roots along Riverway Lane.  Project design is planned for winter of 2024-2025, with construction anticipated for summer of 2025. 

This project includes the repaving of 1.5 miles of new asphalt concrete pavement in various locations around Milwaukie and paint striping for pedestrian multi paths along Linwood Avenue and 43^rd Avenue.  

Repaving will be done for the following streets:

The city is currently designing a project to upgrade public sewer pipes in the Waverly Heights neighborhood. The project will help protect public health, property, and the environment by restoring and repairing aging pipes, and reduce the likelihood of emergency sewer work in the future. The project will also help limit future wastewater service rate increases by limiting the amount of stormwater and groundwater Clackamas County Water Environment Services must treat.
