The City of Albany recently retained the consulting firm David Evans and Associates to evaluate the current and anticipated future performance of the intersection at Crocker Lane and Gibson Hill Road and to identify alternatives (see report) for correcting deficiencies there.
The Albany City Council reviewed the report on March 21, 2016 and directed staff to conduct a series of public outreach activities to determine which intersection improvement alternative is preferred by North Albany residents. The first step in that process was an online survey. Notice of the survey was provided in the April 2016 edition of the City Bridges newsletter (17,000 plus recipients, released March 29, 2016) and through social media (over 3,000 likers/followers). After two weeks there were 326 responses. Many responses included comments and questions that have been addressed by staff. The survey results are summarized on this page.
City staff will hold an open house on this topic from 4:00 - 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 26, 2016 in the Council Chambers at Albany City Hall, 333 Broadalbin Street SW. The purpose of the open house is to provide an opportunity for residents to learn more about the various intersection alternatives and provide feedback. No new information will be presented at the open house; it is primarily an opportunity for you to ask questions of staff and the City’s consultant about this project. If you are unable to attend but have questions or comments that you want to be heard, please send them via email to
Next Steps
- Open house, Tuesday, April 26, 2016, from 4:00 - 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at Albany City Hall, 333 Broadalbin Street SW.
- Staff will combine survey results and public comments into a report to the City Council.
- The Council will then consider the public input and identify their preferred intersection treatment.
- No decisions have been made about when improvements to the intersection will be made; available funding is limited and the community has competing transportation needs.
- Once the preferred alternative is identified, the Council will need to consider these funding limitations and competing needs before scheduling construction.
