Diamond Lake Boulevard/OR 138E Design Concept Plan

The City of Roseburg and the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) are planning improvements to Diamond Lake Boulevard/OR 138E to provide safer and more convenient travel options along the corridor. With new housing and future growth planned along OR 138E, ODOT and the City are taking action now to design improvements so the corridor better serves all of Roseburg’s residents and visitors, including people walking, biking, rolling and driving.

Upcoming Events and Opportunities

Focus Groups and Subcommittees

ODOT seeks community representatives who reside, work or travel in the study area to participate in two focus group-style subcommittees (identified below) to identify transportation barriers and future opportunities. You may qualify for a financial stipend for your volunteer participation.
