Case Study: Controlling The Flow: Innovative Screening Device Solves Detention Maintenance Issues

A nine-year, $5.29 million road improvement joint venture between the City of Beaverton, Ore. and Washington County widened 5,680 feet of a two-lane road. It also improved traffic flow and reduced the erosion of nearby Johnson Creek's banks during flooding. Since the joint project's completion in June 2004, the community enjoys planted medians, new curbs, sidewalks, bike lanes, a pedestrian bridge, as well as improved storm drains and treatment of stormwater runoff.
