What will urban renewal accomplish in the future in Wilsonville?
Most of the currently approved projects (West Side Plan area) will improve the transportation grid in Wilsonville. In addition to new street connections, improvements are also planned for bike and pedestrian connections, utilities, sidewalks, curbs, storm sewers and related infrastructure.
Primary projects in the plan include:
- A Barber Street extension to serve as an additional east-west connector north of Wilsonville Road
- A Kinsman Road extension to serve as a new north-south connector between Wilsonville Road and Boeckman Road
- A second route to connect Old Town to Wilsonville Road west of the railroad tracks
- Development of new parks, playfields and open space
- Purchase of a new elementary school site
- The Boeckman Road extension to Tooze Road for which the city has already obtained $6 million in state and federal grants
