Project Area
180th and Pacific Street Projects
This online meeting will discuss improvements being planned for the 180th and Pacific Street Area. There are two projects currently planned for this area, which are shown in orange and blue on the map.
The first project scheduled to occur is along 180th Street (shown in orange) and includes some improvements along Pacific Street around the 180th Street intersection.
The second project (in blue) is along Pacific Street between just west of 168th Street to approximately 178th Street, where it will tie into the new 180th Street project.

180th Street Overview
Arbor to Harney Street
Drivers on 180th Street between Arbor and Harney Streets currently experience traffic congestion during peak travel times due to the roadway carrying daily traffic volumes beyond its originally intended capacity.
This project will improve traffic flow and safety for all transportation system users by reconstructing 180th Street to a four-lane roadway, divided by a median. The project will also include improvements to intersections, storm sewers, sidewalks, ADA curb ramps, and a multi-use path.
The purpose of this project is to:
- Add lanes to improve vehicle capacity
- Improve safety
- Enhance pedestrian facilities

180th Street Improvements
This is a conceptual image of how these widening elements could fit into the 180th Street corridor.
The conceptual rendering shown is looking south, just south of Spring Ridge Elementary School and the Shadow Ridge Drive intersection

Typical Section
Anticipated changes as part of this project include street widening and the addition of a median, as seen in the typical roadway section image.
180th Street Intersection Improvements
180th and Pacific Streets
This conceptual image shows the intersection expansion anticipated at 180th and Pacific Street. The image is looking from the southeast, to the northwest towards the Pacific Ridge neighborhood.
This intersection experiences high daily traffic counts and drivers often experience delay. The intersection will be expanded to significantly improve the flow of traffic through this area.
Changes include:
- Dual left-turn lane capability in all directions
- Dedicated right-turn lanes in all directions
- Two through lanes in all directions

Future Project
The purpose of the Pacific Street project is similar to 180th Street, to improve safety, enhance pedestrian facilities, increase capacity and reduce congestion. As shown in the image, this project will fill the remaining unimproved roadway gap along Pacific between 168th Street and work being planned at 180th Street.
This future project will reconstruct and widen this segment of Pacific Street to a four-lane divided roadway. Proposed improvements also include storm sewers, sidewalks, ADA curb ramps, and a multi-use path.

Pacific Street Improvements
The Pacific Street typical section, as shown here, is like that of 180th Street and includes a four-lane roadway with raised median. A five-foot sidewalk is proposed on the south side of Pacific Street and a ten-foot shared use path is anticipated on the north side.
Due to existing, large OPPD power poles along the north side of Pacific Street, the path will be positioned along the back of the curb, separated by a two-foot concrete buffer between the curb and path, as is common in other areas of the City.

Pacific Street Segments
- 178th to 174th Streets
- 174th to 173rd/Marcy Streets
- 173rd/Marcy Streets to 169th Street
178th to 174th Streets
This image depicts plans for the west end of the Pacific Street project, where it ties into the 180th Street project at approximately 178th Street. While the typical section proposed for Pacific Street shows a path following the north curb line, an alternate route for the path is shown in blue. This route is being considered to merge with and utilize the exiting path within Pacific Springs Park, rather than constructing a separate path along the roadway.

Project Schedule
The combined schedule highlights the phasing for both projects. All schedules are tentative and subject to change. The 180th Street project would tentatively be constructed starting in 2025. The Pacific Street project would tentative begin construction in 2027 or later.
