Market St NE/Lancaster Drive NE Intersection Widening
October/2010
The Streets and Bridges Bond passed by Salem voters in November 2008 provided funds to widen the intersection of Market St NE and Lancster Drive NE. The main pupose of this project is to reduce congestion and improve safety in the intersection area. The Intersection widening will provide two left-turn lanes from northbound Lancaster Dr NE to westbound Market St NE and two left-turn lanes from eastbound Market St NE to northbound Lancaster Dr NE. Additionally, a second through lane will be provided westbound on Market St NE for a short distance east of the intersection. In order to reduce collisions and vehicle movement conflicts, a traffic separator is proposed along the widened areas north,south and west of the intersection. Other improvements will include traffic signal revisions, new curbs, new sidewalks and storm sewer modifications. Project design and property acquisition is underway with construction cucrrently scheduled for 2012.

Market St NE/Swegle Rd NE Corridor Improvements (Clay st NE to Royalty Dr NE

October/2010

The Streets and Bridges Bond passed by Salem voters in Novemberr 2008 provided funds for improvements to the Market St NE/Swegle Rd NE corridor from Clay St NE to Royalty Dr NE. This project will widen the current roadway to 46-foot minor arterial standards, with center turn lane, two travel lanes, bike lanes, curbs, sidewalks, streetlights, and storm sewer and water system modifications. Improvements will also include modifications to the existing horizontal alignment of Market St and Swegle Rd to create a single signalized intersection with 45th Avenue, replacing the two existing stop-controlled intersections. The City formed a stakeholder group to assist with the seleciton of improvements along the new access street at Swegle Elementary School. The group addressed issues such as parking, bus loading and unloading, and student drop-off and pick-up. Following presentations of alternatives at an East Lancaster Neighborhood Associaiton meeting and a Swegle Elementary School Parents Club meeting, the group reached consensus on a preferred alternative in June. The City has hired a design consultant for this project. Preliminary design is underway with property acquisition to start early in 2011. Construction is currently scheduled for 2013 and 2014. For more information, please contact John Echeverri, Sr. Project Manager: 503-588-6211.
