Street Resurfacing & Reconstruction / Intersection - Garfield Ave

View this project in the Capital Improvement Program document here.
 
***Español a continuación***

The segment of NW Garfield Avenue between NW Kings Boulevard and NW 9th Street will be repaved as part of the City of Corvallis’ Capital Improvement Program with the schedule to be determined. The repaving may enhance the existing bike lanes such as through the addition of painted buffers. Due to the constrained width of the road, an evaluation of a possible tradeoff with existing space for on-street parking is required. City staff developed a procedure for evaluating parking in these situations, and City Council supported using the procedure to inform a recommendation.

NW Garfield Avenue Parking Survey:

The City has finished collecting and analyzing parking inventory and utilization data on NW Garfield Avenue from NW 9th Street to NW Kings Boulevard and within approximately a one block distance (varies) on neighboring streets. The results are informing a recommendation to potentially remove parking (subject to City Council confirmation)

NW Garfield Avenue Parking Open House

Join City of Corvallis staff for an open house to learn more and provide feedback. There will be no set presentation for the event—come and go as you please. Can’t make it? Once available, you can view survey results and provide feedback online.

Where: Calvin Presbyterian Church, 1730 NW Dixon Street

When: Tuesday May 5, 5:30 – 7:00 p.m.

Schedule:

January 2026: Pre-parking survey notification mailed to surrounding properties

February 2026: City staff collect data and analyze findings

April 2026: Post-parking survey notification to surrounding properties of the outcome and recommendation.

Spring 2026: Open house and public feedback.

Summer 2026: Recommendation is presented to City Council for decision.

NW Garfield Avenue repaving project schedule to be determined

El tramo de NW Garfield Avenue entre NW Kings Boulevard y NW 9th Street será repavimentado como parte del Programa de Mejoras de Capital de la Ciudad de Corvallis aunque el calendario aún está por determinar. La repavimentación podría mejorar los carriles para bicicletas existentes, como mediante la adición de zonas de amortiguamiento pintadas. Debido al ancho limitado de la calle, se requiere evaluar una posible compensación con el espacio existente para el estacionamiento en la vía pública. El personal de la Ciudad desarrolló un procedimiento para esto, y el Concejo Municipal apoyó la revisión de las condiciones de estacionamiento para informar una recomendación.

Encuesta De Estacionamiento

La Ciudad ha finalizado la recopilación y el análisis de los datos sobre el inventario y la utilización de las plazas de estacionamiento en NW Garfield Avenue desde NW 9th Street hasta NW Kings Boulevard así como en un tramo de aproximadamente una manzana (que varía) de las calles colindantes. Los resultados sirven de base para una recomendación destinada a la posible eliminación de plazas de estacionamiento (sujeta a la confirmación del Concejo Municipal).

Jornada de Puertas Abiertas

Únase al personal de la Ciudad de Corvallis en una jornada de puertas abiertas para obtener más información y dar su opinión. No habrá ninguna presentación programada para el evento; puede entrar y salir cuando lo desee. ¿No puede asistir? Cuando estén disponibles, podrá consultar los resultados de la encuesta y dar su opinión en línea.

Dónde: Calvin Presbyterian Church, 1730 NW Dixon Street

Cuándo: Martes, 5 de mayo, 5:30 - 7:00 p.m.

Horario:

Enero de 2026: Notificación antes del estudio de estacionamiento enviada por correo a las propiedades circundantes

Supporting Documents

As major transportation projects move into the first two years of the 5-year CIP, it is important that project scopes and cost estimates are fully developed in order to appropriately inform the City's biennial budget. This additional project definition is facilitated through preliminary engineering activities that can include road safety audits or intersection control evaluations.  If these efforts are undertaken on a project, links will be added below.

Design

Projects are in the design phase when the scope and budget has been authorized by Council.  During the design phase, staff prepare engineered construction plans and other contract documents necessary to bid the project for construction. Engagement efforts vary during design with emphasis placed on engaging with those properties directly impacted by the project. Direct contact with property owners, general mailings, and neighborhood meetings are types of engagement strategies that the project manager may rely on. For select projects, when design has reached approximately 60%, the City can schedule an opportunity for the broader community to learn more about the project and provide “design-level input." Design-level input on a specific project does not include input on project scope or the City’s general design standards. An example of design-level input would be sharing information with the project manager about a challenge a user experiences transitioning from an on-street bike lane to an off-street multi-use path within the project limits/scope and how that transition may be impacted with the project. The City currently partners with the Sustainability Coalition’s Transportation Action Team for meeting facilitation. Meeting dates and meeting materials will be provided below when available. 

Transportation Action Team Meeting: TBD
