Marion County Public Works is hosting a virtual open house for the upcoming Hollywood Drive NE Urban Improvements Project. The virtual open house is set for Jan. 15, 2021, through Feb. 8, 2021 and can be accessed at http://bit.ly/HollywoodDr_OpenHouse.
Marion County has received a Federal Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) grant to make improvements on Hollywood Drive NE, from Silverton Road NE to 700 feet south of Greenfield Lane NE. Work will include widening both shoulders and constructing sidewalks on both sides of the road to accommodate bike lanes and pedestrian traffic. Approximately 800 linear feet of the project area is located within the City of Salem, which allows the project to connect to existing pedestrian and bicycle facilities. The project will construct a new signalized intersection at Silverton Road and Hollywood Drive, including a left-turn refuge from Hollywood Drive northbound to Silverton Road westbound.
The existing roadway is generally narrow with no bike lanes and only isolated segments of existing sidewalk. This segment of Hollywood Drive is an important connection between a major arterial, McKay High School, parks and residential neighborhoods in northeast Salem. Within the project limits, Hollywood Drive has a high traffic volume along with a high volume of bicyclists and pedestrians. It serves an area that is densely developed with both single-family and multi-family housing.
Construction is expected to begin in the summer of 2022 and be completed in the spring of 2023.
Marion County Public Works will host a Virtual Open House to provide preliminary project information and collect comments and questions regarding the upcoming project.
