City engineer: N. 19th, paving program and Council Creek Trail moving forward; open house set for May
Summary
City Engineer Terry Keyes updated the board on the N. 19th Complete Street, the FY2026/27 paving program (construction begins July 1, 2026), and the Council Creek Trail design; Keyes said the trail open house is scheduled for May and funding remains pending.
Terry Keyes, City Engineer, told the Public Infrastructure Advisory Board the N. 19th Complete Street project is progressing and "the project is moving along very smoothly." Keyes outlined the FY2026/27 paving schedule and identified locations included in the program, saying construction is set to begin on July 1, 2026.
Keyes also reported the Council Creek Trail has been designed and that Alta Planning + Design is working on the trail crossings; staff plan an open house at City Hall in May 2026 to present the design to the public, though funding for construction has not yet been released. He added that the Metro Nature in Neighborhoods effort is coordinating access improvements at Steamboat Park and noted parking and outreach will be part of future planning.
Why this matters: the projects include street safety, trail connectivity and neighborhood access to the Tualatin River. The paving work is a near‑term construction item with a defined start date; trail and river access projects remain dependent on external funding. The board received these updates and had brief discussion about public parking and communication plans for the trail access.
