Consultation has concluded

The Oak/Baseline/10th Avenue project is identifying opportunities for improvements along this frequently used corridor.


The project is studying how people, and goods, move around - and through - Downtown Hillsboro.

As well as how this movement affects the character of the community, economic development and natural resources.

After hearing from the community, the project team created preferred design concepts to improve the walkability, livability and vibrancy of Downtown.

The design aims to:

  • Increase safety for people walking, biking, rolling, and accessing transit.
  • Improve connections to the surrounding neighborhoods and existing community destinations.

Study Area

The study focuses on SE Oak Street and SE Baseline St from SW Adams Street to the west to SE 10th Avenue to the east as well as SE 10th Avenue from SE Baseline Street to SE Maple Street.

The adjacent blocks with streets intersecting the above (a total of 23 intersections) will also be included.

    Any thought to eliminating this highway through downtown Hillsboro?

    Thom asked over 1 year ago

    Thanks for your question. OR 8 is controlled by the Oregon Department of Transportation, and its elimination has not been considered. 

    However, this project aims to address its negative impacts on the City’s residents and businesses by: 

    • Increasing safety for people walking, biking, rolling, and accessing transit
    • Increasing access to priority community service destinations such as City and County offices, the Health & Education District, the Calle Diez commercial corridor as well as the Main Street district.
