Region 1 ADA Curb Ramp Upgrades – City of Molalla

Project Completed

Region 1: Portland metro and Hood River County (Molalla, Clackamas)


​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​We brought sidewalk curb ramps into compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act  (ADA) accessibility standards on OR 211 in Molalla. Construction was completed in two phases during 2021 and 2022. ​


Impacts

Construction Impacts

The contractor has completed almost all of the work on OR 211 (E Main Street and W Main Street) in Molalla. The only remaining work is minor repairs and cleanup which should not impact traffic or pedestrians.​​​

This work caused intermittent lane, shoulder and sidewalk closures on OR 211 and on intersecting local streets. All roads remained open. We provided ADA-accessible pedestrian detours around the work zones and maintained access for customers of adjacent businesses. Some shoulder on-street parking was temporarily impacted. We coordinated with affected property and business owners as needed.

Work took place during the day, unless a temporary lane closure on a highway was required. In this case, work may have taken place at night to minimize traffic impacts. For any noise-related concerns associated with any nighttime work, contact the 24/7 noise hotline at 503-276-7810.

Schedule

Phase 1 construction was completed in August 2021. Phase 2 began spring 2022 and was substantially complete in fall 2022. 

Details

 Phase 1 work​ began in May 2021 and was completed in August 2021. Phase 2 work began spring 2022 and was substantially complete in fall 2022. Generally, it took 1-2 weeks to complete work on an individual corner, with construction on several corners happening concurrently. However, only one corner per intersection was under construction at a time in order to better maintain access to nearby businesses and services.

The ODOT ADA PROGRAM is working to bring more than 25,000 curb ramps throughout Oregon into compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. The effort was launched in response to a formal complaint from the Association of Oregon Centers for Independent Living (AOCIL). Together we reached an agreement to improve curb ramps and pedestrian signals along all state highways. We are committed to new standards for accessible routes through work zones, outreach and addressing public concerns. Everyone who uses sidewalks along our highways will benefit from this commitment and the improvements we make to the curb ramps.​
