ODOT outlines phased ADA ramp work, roadway conversion and bike-ped upgrades for Cottage Grove
Summary
Oregon Department of Transportation staff presented plans to upgrade curb ramps and reconfigure parts of Highway 99 in Cottage Grove, describing a phased schedule, traffic analysis that supports a lane conversion, and outreach to affected property owners.
The Oregon Department of Transportation presented its Cottage Grove ADA ramps project and related low-cost roadway and pedestrian upgrades to the Cottage Grove City Council, saying work will be phased and will include curb ramps, pedestrian refuge islands, bike lanes and a proposed roadway conversion on Highway 99.
ODOT area 5 manager Vidal Francis said ramps in Cottage Grove are part of a larger statewide effort and that the work in town will be phased "because the easier ones are being kinda lumped together and getting done earlier. And then the more complex ones, there might be a traffic signal there." He said construction is expected to begin on the ground in 2026 with additional work continuing into 2027, and that schedule details will follow in spring design updates.
