The City of Hillsboro is preparing to install sidewalks along SE 11th Avenue and SE Alder Street. On 11th Avenue, the sidewalks will begin at SE Maple Street and stop at the end of the street, near the apartments just south of Alder Street. On Alder Street, the sidewalks will start at 11th Avenue and end at 21st Avenue. Improvements will include 6-foot wide curbside sidewalks, street lighting, and grouped locking mailboxes.
To fund this project, the City of Hillsboro was awarded a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The City plans to use this grant funding with some additional City Transportation Utility Fee funds to cover all project costs.
