Current Stayton Projects

  • February 5, 2026 Update: 

    As part of the waterline improvement work along Shaff Road, around thirty house connections have been completed as of this afternoon and have been transferred to a new water distribution system. These homes, all located along Shaff Road (between N. Evergreen Ave and N. First Ave) may experience temporary dirty water in their home’s water distribution system.

    To resolve the potential dirty water issue, residents can turn on their cold water faucets for a period of five to ten minutes, until the water runs clear. We recommend that this flushing takes place before using the hot water system, to avoid dirt in hot water tanks. 

    Any visible dirt is most likely coming from internal plumbing, having been stopped and started, causing a water hammer effect. It is possible that filters in faucets may become blocked with dirt. If this is the case, removing and rinsing filters will resolve this issue. 

    The new main line system has been flushed and disinfected and it is very unlikely to have contaminated water. 

    If you have any questions, please contact Public Works at 503-769-2919.



    January 28, 2026 Project Update and Paving Timeline:

    As of today, all pipeline installation is complete. Over the next few weeks, the remaining construction work for this project will be wrapped up.

    Shaff Road will be paved once temperatures remain above 60 degrees for three days in a row.

    • Limited Parking
    • Limited Walkways
    • Limited Thru Streets

    Ida St. Improvement Project | Update as of June 16
    06/19/2024

    Ida Street Construction begins June 3rd
    05/31/2024

    Pacific Excavation will be performing construction along Ida Street starting at 1st Avenue and working along Ida Street to 4th Avenue, beginning the first week of June and is anticipated to be completed in 2 months. The Ida Street Improvement Project will be completed in phases, with traffic being impacted only on one block at a time until final paving.

     

    Traffic impacts will typically be limited to 2-3 business days per block, which may impact parking and thru traffic for those areas during working hours (7:00 AM to 6:00 PM). Local access will be maintained at all times for businesses and property owners, though there may be delays. As a reminder, there is a free public parking lot available on the corner of Florence Street and 2nd Avenue and by the Stayton Court House. Please be cautious of the construction crew and equipment when driving near the construction zone.

     

    Also, make sure to support your local businesses that may be affected by construction and respect private parking lots owned by other businesses near the construction zone.

     

    For additional information, contact Ian Kintz Stormo at (503) 769–2919 and stay up to date by visiting our Projects Page at www.staytonoregon.gov/page/pw_projects for updates.

Some examples include environmental improvements such as a fish mitigation passage and regional water facility. New structures and facilities like an observation tower, covered areas, and concessions stands. In addition, there will be new areas dedicated to recreational sports, gardening, and community-led events.
