Woodburn: Project Introduction

The long awaited First Street Improvements Project will be underway in early 2019. The project will include streetscape improvements on First Street between Oak and Harrison Streets, pedestrian-friendly sidewalks, crosswalks, improved 2nd Street parking lot, and alleyway beautification. Project engineering and design is currently underway and is anticipated to wrap up in late 2018.

The department prepares ordinances and resolutions, gives advice regarding general municipal law issues, represents the City in litigation, and handles traffic and code violations in municipal court.
