The West Linn-Wilsonville Bond Team and Project Architects presented an update of the New Athey Creek at Dollar Street Bond Project during the October 5 School Board Meeting. The presentation can be viewed on the Bond Website. 

IBI Architects are in the 2nd phase of the design process. Individual spaces, such as the library, gym, kitchen and classroom wings are being studied. Floor plans are developing, and adjustments are made weekly as the design progresses. 

WLWV is continuing to work with the City of West Linn on the Right of Way design for half street improvements on Dollar Street and full street improvements on Willamette Falls Drive. 

A community meeting is tentatively scheduled for October 14th. The current site plan, including parking areas, driveways, bus entry and track and field facilities will be discussed. 

Steps are underway to prepare for Land Use. There will be a neighborhood association meeting in October as part of this process. 

Proposed Library Design:

Schedmatic Design is complete. At this stage there is an overall floorplan concept. Site work consists of the track, greenhouse, two parking areas as well as a connector road from Dollar Street to Willamette Falls Drive.

WLWV is continuing to work with the City of West Linn on the Right of Way design for half street improvements along Dollar Street, and full street improvements on Willamette Falls Drive.

Willamette Cultural Resources conducted a site survey of the property recently. There were only a few small fragments of implemental hunting tools. A monument stone on the adjacent riverfront property (not part of the school site) was acknowledged during the survey as well.

A local historian was brought out to the site during the Archaelogical survey. He was invited by a neighborhr. He was able to provide some additional firsthand information, however at this time there was significantly less cultural resources located than originally anticipated. WCRA is working with the state to determine any further investigation.

There will be an addional Community Meeting prior to the final land use meeting. The district will be sharing the Schematic Design floor plans and site developments. There will be site reports available for reference from the Archaeologist, Arborist, Environmentalist, Traffic Engineers and Geotechnical Engineers at that time. Meeting date will be posted once confirmed, targeted for sometime in September.

The District has retained an Archaeological firm to survey the Dollar St. site for potential historical artifacts. Their team will be surveying the site starting the week of 7/20. They will systematically search the site on foot, using standard industry practices and will not be using any heavy equipment. The field work is anticipated to take approximately one week. Any findings will be compiled in a report, and the report will be posted to the District website.
