Streets and Transportation

The Carlton Public Works department maintains the City streets of Carlton.  Highway 47 runs North and South through Carlton and is maintained by the Oregon Department of Transportation or ODOT.  Any issues or concerns with Highway 47 can be reported to ODOT by calling 1-888-275-6368 or visiting their website: https://www.oregon.gov/odot/engineering/pages/index.aspx 

Street Sweeping

Street sweeping helps maintain cleanliness, prevents pollution by removing pollutants before they enter storm drains, reduces the risk of flooding by keeping drainage systems clear, and improves the overall aesthetics and safety of public areas.

Residential street sweeping is scheduled for the first Wednesday of the month from March to December, and commercial street sweeping is scheduled for the first Tuesday of every month. This schedule can be subject to change depending on weather and equipment.

Please visit the City's calendar for the most recent schedule information: https://www.ci.carlton.or.us/publicworks/page/residential-street-sweeping-1

Roadside Trees & Vegetation

While trees and vegetation benefit citizens, maintenance is needed to ensure ongoing health, unobstructed sight lines, safe pedestrian and cyclist passage and uninterrupted city services.

The City of Carlton Code outlines tree and vegetation care responsibilities of property owners, contractors, and the City.

Any other city street issue or concern can be reported to City Hall or the Public Works Director by calling 503-852-3104.
