EDA Main Street Revitalization Project
Wildish has completed the installation of the 12” water main from 8th Street to the Bridge. Next week they will work on the tie-ins on the side streets. Everything is running smooth and on schedule.
If you are interested in seeing the plan for the Main Street Revitalization Project there is a schematic drawing hanging in the lobby of City Hall (400 E. Main Street). If you have any questions about the project, please call Shauna Neigh, Project Coordinator, at 541-787-4153.
All downtown Businesses are OPEN during construction!
Did you know, you can win $500 in gift cards just for shopping or eating at downtown businesses?
The City of Cottage Grove has partnered with the Cottage Grove Area Chamber of Commerce on a promotional stamp card.

Reminder from the Cottage Grove Police Department
With the Main Street Construction project underway and the increased activity we want to ensure our downtown remains safe for everyone. We would also like to share some important reminders with everyone.
First, traffic fines DOUBLE in a construction zone. ORS 811.111, violating a speed limit has a fine between $225-$875, depending on the speed violation. Be sure to drive cautiously down Main Street as there are more pedestrians walking to and from businesses, especially as the weather begins to be nicer.
Secondly, be sure to watch for the temporary traffic control devices. The north and south side streets now have STOP signs. Be sure to make a complete stop, as a fine is $525 for Failure to Obey Traffic Control Device, ORS 811.265.
One last, incredibly important reminder – the businesses down Main Street are open during the construction and the Cottage Grove Police Department is committed to maintaining a safe environment during construction so you can continue to support your favorite local shops down Main Street!
Week of March 10th- 19th:
Wildish crews will be digging to install the new 12 inch waterline from the Coast Fork Main Street Bridge to 8th Street.
The trees on Main Street in the downtown historic district have been removed. There is a plan to replace trees in the Main Street Revitalization Project plan.
If you are interested in seeing the plan for the Main Street Revitalization Project there is a schematic drawing hanging in the lobby of City Hall (400 E. Main Street). If you have any questions about the project, please call Shauna Neigh, Project Coordinator, at 541-787-4153.
Week of March 3rd- 7th:
The east bound lane (South side) of Main Street (Historic District) is closed and the traffic will remain west bound for the duration of the project. Two-way stop signs will be in place on the cross streets (5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th). Westbound traffic on Main Street will not stop.
Wildish continues to pothole to locate existing underground utilities. The valves and fittings will be assembled in preparation for the new water main installation.
Wildish staff will also be assessing the building fronts and foundations on the south side in preparation of future excavation.
City Staff is available to answer any questions and will provide up to date information as the project progresses through the Friday Update and on the City of Cottage Grove website.
If you have additional questions or concerns, please contact Shauna Neigh, Project Coordinator at (541)767-4153.
Week of February 24th – 28th:
On February 24th the east bound lane (South side) of Main Street (Historic District) will be closed and the traffic will remain west bound for the duration of the project.
Wildish will be conducting groundwork to locate existing underground utilities in preparation for the new water main installation. This work will involve cutting pavement and "potholing," and will last through the end of this week.
Additionally, starting on Wednesday, February 26th, Lance Electric will begin the demolition of the traffic signals. This work is expected to take two days. During this time, there will be westbound-only traffic on Main Street in the Historic District. Two-way stop signs will be in place on the cross streets (5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th). Westbound traffic on Main Street will not stop.
Wildish will have detours in place and lane closures. While the southern lane is closed, parking will remain available on north side of the street and in the City parking lots. Access to the sidewalks and all businesses will remain open.
Week of February 17th – 21st:
Mobilization begins on Monday February 17th. Wildish will install fencing for their storage site and begin to gather the equipment in the parking lot across from City Hall. There will be a placement of road barriers along the south side of Main Street.
Due to the weather, the prep work did not move as fast as expected.
NWNatural will complete work between 5th Street and the Main Street Bridge and move to the 7th Street area. They plan to complete their work by Friday February 21st.
City Staff will be on Main Street preparing for the new water main installation.
City Staff is available to answer any questions and will provide up to date information as the project progresses through the Friday Update, on the City of Cottage Grove website, and through TextMyGov.
If you have additional questions or concerns, please contact Shauna Neigh, Project Coordinator at (541)767-4153.
What is included with the EDA Man Street Revitalization Grant?
Project includes street repaving, frontage improvements, and new water and storm sewer utilities. These improvements include new sidewalk; new curb/gutter, pervious pavers in revised parking areas; water main; water services; storm sewer; storm sewer manholes; double lamp poles; vehicular poles with signals; pedestrian poles at crosswalks; street trees; water fountains; new pavement striping, and other improvements such as fiber network cable.
The Main Street Refinement Plan, which was adopted by the City Council in 2015, will guide much of the project, scheduled to begin in the fall of 2023 or Spring of 2024. CLICK HERE to view the 2015 Main Street Refinement Plan. The EDA Main Street Revitalization project also addresses another key component of the need for a Main Street upgrade, the lack of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The project will fund new lighting and the replacement of benches and trash receptacles, in addition to the sidewalk widths, and replacement of the trees that have caused damage to sidewalks and buildings with new trees and tree wells more suited to the Main Street location.
