Chiloquin Boulevard (OR 422) and W Chocktoot Street (OR 422 SPUR)
In 2023, ODOT's South Central Oregon region submitted a request for funding from the ODOT Great Streets program for street improvement and enhancement projects in the City of Chiloquin.
The project will increase safety and transform the OR 422 and OR 422S into a "Great Street" to better serve the community's needs. Bike and pedestrian facilities will be built along OR 422, OR 422S, and Chocktoot Street. Two major intersections in Chiloquin will be realigned, and multi-modal crossings will be improved to give a safe route for those walking, biking, and rolling. The project includes building a multi-use path which will be separated from the highway along OR 422 connecting the downtown core to Spinks Park, the Klamath Tribal Center, and U.S. 97, as well as a pedestrian connection across OR 422 which will connect the Klamath Tribal Administration building and the Wellness Center.
This project also includes improvements along Chocktoot Street (OR 422). These improvements include updated sidewalks and ADA facilities and may also include lighting, streetpaving, additional pedestrian crossings, artwork, etc. The citizens of Chiloquin will decide these improvements through input in surveys, community meetings, and events.
