Moving ahead in Blue River.
Blue River Wastewater Project
Protecting the McKenzie River while supporting the rebuilding of the Blue River community is a critical part of wildfire recovery. The creation of a community wastewater system for Blue River will reduce the risk of contamination and support the economic revitalization of the area.
Blue River Community Planning
This project will promote compact, small-town development patterns with an active and convenient pedestrian environment along a mixed-use Blue River Drive, higher density development near Lane Transit District bus stops and the McKenzie River Community School, and mixed-use employment lands located within the community boundary.
Blue River Drive Design Concept
Lane County will be asking the community about the transportation needs for Blue River Drive, such as sidewalks and on-street parking in order to develop a design concept for Blue River Drive that reflects community preferences.
Blue River Surveying Project
Many of the lots in Blue River are relatively small, magnifying the importance of accurate survey results that align with one another. Replacement of drinking water infrastructure and the anticipated development of a collective wastewater treatment system triggers the need to survey the many road and utility rights of way.
