scheduled for Thursday, April
14, from 4:30 to 7 p.m. at the
Florence Events Center, 715
Quince St., for residents to
view the finalized design for
the Rhododendron Drive
Shoulder Extension Project.
Construction of paved shoul-
ders on each side of
Rhododendron Drive, between
Ninth Street and Wildwinds,
begins in June of this year.
Funded by the Oregon
Department of Transportation
and the City of Florence, the
construction will be completed
by the end of summer 2016.
What started as a proposal
for a 10-foot wide separated
multi-use path along the east
side of Rhododendron Drive
between Ninth and Wildwinds
has been changed into two 6-
foot wide paved shoulders
along the Ninth Street to
Wildwinds
section
of
Rhododendron Drive. The two
6-foot wide shoulders will use
permeable pavement to lessen
the impact to the native vegeta-
tion.
After four public meetings
and one open house during the
WEDNESDAY THURSDAY
fall of 2014, Florence City
Council selected the two 6-foot
wide shoulders option, utilizing
permeable pavement, for this
section of Rhododendron
Drive.
The new design necessitated
service contract changes and in
March 2015, the new contract
and scope of services were
approved to complete the pre-
construction design engineer-
ing. The project went to con-
struction bid this March and
will likely be underway by late
May.
The new design reduced the
impact on properties, trees and
shrubs along the road. All of
the project is within the public
right-of-way, but some trees
and vegetation will need to be
removed from about 14 proper-
ties. The city is contacting and
communicating with all of
these property owners and resi-
dents. Construction will have
some impacts to traffic along
the road and the city will con-
tinue to communicate details of
the project.
“When it pours, it’s porous:”
permeable pavement will be
used on the 6 foot shoulders of
Rhododendron Drive. It looks
the same as typical asphalt, but
water will flow through it and
be absorbed by the sand under-
neath rather than flow over the
surface and into a ditch. It is
healthier for plants, cleans
storm water and does not carry
pollutants into rivers.
Even after twenty years,
porous pavements show little if
any cracking or pothole prob-
lems. The surface wears well.
Porous asphalt retains its abili-
ty to handle rainwater for many
years.
While slightly coarser than
standard asphalt, most people
parking or driving on a porous
asphalt surface will not notice
(or believe) that it is different.
The surface of porous asphalt
pavement is smooth enough to
meet requirements of the
Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA).

project, including construction
information, contact Mike
