Local Contractor Completes Tualatin Traffic Safety Project
The City of Tualatin’s $20 million voter-approved transportation bond program called Tualatin Moving Forward is tackling smaller scale projects to relieve local congestion and improve neighborhood traffic safety and school access. Seven bond-funded projects have already been completed, and another fifteen are underway this year. It is anticipated 35 projects will be built across the city by the time the bond program ends in 2023.
The majority of projects are small – but still important – neighborhood traffic safety improvements: new crossings with pedestrian-activated flashing beacons, driver feedback signs, new sidewalks, curb ramps, and bike lanes. To increase competition and encourage local builders to participate, most of these small projects are being bid individually.
One project has already been won by a locally owned and operated Tualatin contractor, BANR Enterprises. BANR completed the pedestrian-activated signal and crosswalk on Sagert Street at Atfalati Park. The total project cost was $86,200.
Scott Davis, BANR construction manager and owner, says: “There is no project too small or too large for us. And there is nothing more important than traffic safety in our neighborhoods.”
There’s still an opportunity to identify neighborhood traffic safety project needs. This year, 243 new projects were nominated for consideration. Residents and businesses can use the “Suggest a Project” button on the website to recommend a traffic safety project in their neighborhood. “We’re still looking for a few great projects”, says Kelsey Lewis, the bond program’s Deputy Program Manager.
