City of GP Holding Open House for 6th & 7th Street Multimodal Corridor Project
The City of Grants Pass is inviting citizens to attend an Open House for the 6th & 7th Street Multimodal Corridor Study. The Open House will take place on Friday from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Grants Pass Welcome Center at the corner of 6th and G streets. If you live, work, go to school or travel through downtown Grants Pass, the City and Project Team want to hear from you. They're working to understand how people get around and what makes it challenging -- especially for those who want to bike, walk, roll or take the bus. Speak directly with City and Project staff in the first of two open house events for the project, which is scheduled between now and April 2026. Additional information about the 6th & 7th Street Multimodal Corridor Project can be found at "tinyurl.com/GP-6-7-Streets." ...Read more
