It’s Paving Season - Don’t Forget the Sidewalk Grant Program!
Last year the City Council approved a grant program to help private property owners pay for the installation or replacement of sidewalks, curbs, and ADA curb ramps.

and 3 new ADA ramps. To learn more, or apply for a sidewalk grant, please visit the Molalla Current and click on the Sidewalk Grant Program page.

The new plant is coming along well now with the weather cooperating. Here are a few pictures to get you up to date with things:
- The equalization basin is ready for concrete forms.
- The control building footings are formed up with electrical and plumbing roughed into the footprint.

WATER TREATMENT PLANT
The Water Treatment Plant Generator go some much-needed servicing in June with much of the cooling system requiring rebuild or replacement.
This generator is the emergency power supply for the plant, so even if PGE power service is out, we can supply our customers with drinking water.
MAINTENANCE SECTION
Clark Park Pavilion Rebuild (above): Picnic tables are in place and the grass has been seeded at the new Clark Park Pavilion. Thank you Molalla Communications Company for your generous contributions to this project.
Lola Ave. (below) Keep an eye out if you live on Lola Ave or just frequent the area. Construction crews are set to begin a significant project to replace the water and sewer lines, then perform a complete grind and inlay on the road surface.
Grange Ave. (below) Roadwork related to the new PD Facility is set to begin in July. Please keep an eye out for temporary changes in the traffic pattern… see below for an illustration.
Bohlander Field Access (below) If you are attending the Buckeroo, one of the Mexican Rodeos, or any other event that uses Bohlander Field, please be aware of the new traffic pattern and pedestrian safety zone.
Recent events have featured the use of automobiles to inflict mass casualties on unsuspecting festivalgoers. Based on this recent pattern, City staff in coordination with the Buckeroo personnel determined that a pedestrian safety zone to cross the street is not only advisable, but necessary to prevent a tragedy.
