Martinazzi Avenue and Sagert Street Intersection Improvements Tualatin, Oregon
In an effort to increase traffic capacity at Martinazzi Avenue and Sagert Street in Tualatin, Oregon, a redesign of the intersection was initiated to improve operations. In leading the conceptual and final design, Otak also supported the broader project team with alternatives analysis, utility coordination and design during construction to bring the concept to completion.
Improving Intersection Operations with a Multimodal Design
Originally a four-way-stop, updating this intersection to a traffic signal was designed to alleviate congestion. With an added focus on pedestrian and bicycle safety, the project is also part of the Tualatin Moving Forward bond program, where transportation projects across the city prioritize congestion relief, neighborhood safety, and access to public assets. In meeting these goals, the project includes the widening of Sagert Street to include buffered bike lanes and widened sidewalks as well as ADA ramp improvements. Right-of-way acquisition and utility relocations were also necessary in bringing this design to reality.
