Both have charming downtowns, and both are nestled in the Willamette Valley. In early fall, the campus of Oregon State University is ablaze with color. Both have beautiful riverfront parks and plenty of national chain restaurants. However, both towns have one common problem: they are often closed by 9 pm, and the police can be prickly about people wandering the streets past this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pilkington to Merloy Connection has been approved by City Council and is tentatively scheduled to open in 2022. The project will begin in a few years, and is made possible by a Community Paths Grant. David Evans and Associates, a local architecture firm, has been hired by the Benton County government to perform preliminary design services and help acquire right-of-way. The city will also work closely with the Oregon Department of Transportation on various U.S. 20 safety improvement projects. This collaborative effort will ensure the vision is implemented and the vision is carried out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visitors to both cities should take note of traffic conditions, particularly on Highway 20. The roads are fairly bad, but luckily, there are plenty of places to enjoy nature and spend time with your family. You can visit the Jackson-Frazier Wetlands, a nature preserve that is accessible to all and has an interesting history. You can also hop on an Amtrak train and catch a bus into the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pilkington to Merloy Connection project is another project that has been moving forward. With the Community Paths Grant, this project is on track for completion in 2021. It is being designed by David Evans and Associates, and preliminary design services will be provided to help with right-of-way acquisition. Benton County is working closely with the Oregon Department of Transportation on other safety improvement projects along U.S. 20. This collaborative effort will ensure the success of the vision of community connections between Corvallis and Albany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many opportunities to enjoy the beautiful outdoors in Albany and Corvallis. The Benton County Courthouse is the oldest courthouse in the state. There are six breweries in Corvallis, and many distilleries produce award-winning products. Several of these distilleries are dog-friendly. The city also attempts to avoid being just a college town, with plenty of local events and activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The markets in Albany and Corvallis are joined together to form a 501(c)(6) non-profit association, which is governed by a board of farmers. The organization is governed by a governing board consisting of seven farmers and five non-farming members. The goal of the market is to serve the entire community, from the farm to the table. It is a great place to celebrate<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you visit these two Oregon cities, you will be amazed by the natural beauty of these towns.
