Milwaukie staff finalize TSP project list; advisory committee shifts several projects into constrained list
Summary
City staff and consultants presented a revised Transportation System Plan project list after TSP advisory committee review. A cost revision for a major multimodal corridor and small adjustments to project tiers let the city meet the state’s financially constrained total; staff plan hearings in winter 2026.
City staff and their transportation consultant presented a revised Transportation System Plan (TSP) project list at the council meeting, reporting several small changes made after the Advisory Committee’s final review.
Community Development Director Laura Weigel and consultant Matt Hugart said the primary cost adjustment that enabled moving projects into the constrained, financially feasible list was to recast the cost for project P‑27 as the city’s grant match amount rather than the full construction cost. That change freed room to move several pedestrian and bike projects — including a 30th Avenue pedestrian connection (P‑10) and a bicycle treatment on a middle segment of Monroe (B‑84) — up into the constrained list. Staff also clarified overlapping project descriptions and removed duplicative items.
Scope and process: Weigel said the TSP maps show both current classifications and aspirational routes; some identified segments on state routes (OR‑224) will require coordination with ODOT. The revised constrained list totals approximately $27.35 million, just inside the city’s target for state review. Staff said some tier‑3 and developer‑triggered projects remain on the unconstrained list and that adoption still requires required public hearings and a hearing before the Planning Commission and council early next year.
Questions and follow up: Council members asked about why a specific neighborhood sidewalk (P‑110) was moved into the constrained list; staff said an advisory committee member had relayed neighborhood concern and that project costs were compatible after the P‑27 cost change. Staff agreed to double‑check overlaps, clarify which projects include ADA ramp work as part of paving projects and to confirm that projects on ODOT facilities are coordinated with state schedules.
Next steps: Staff said they will continue edits and bring the TSP through required public hearings; the schedule was expected to push adoption into early 2026. The city will provide updated project descriptions and confirm which projects will be built as part of larger paving work.
