Staff previews nearly-final Woodburn Transportation System Plan update to planning commission
Summary
City planning staff gave commissioners a sneak peek at a nearly finished Transportation System Plan (TSP) update, describing a focused revision to guide road classifications, funding priorities and near-term safety fixes before a public hearing in six to eight weeks.
Staff presented an overview of the Transportation System Plan update, telling the commission the draft is "about 98% finished" and framing the work as a surgical revision to reflect the city’s recent Southwest UGB expansion. The presenter said the TSP is a required element of the comprehensive plan and that the draft will feed the capital improvement program and system development charges (SDCs) used to fund capacity projects.
The presentation explained that the TSP includes roadway classifications, intersection improvements, and a 20–35 year planning horizon. Staff emphasized the update would not be a full rewrite but would add and re-prioritize projects where the city’s urban growth boundary now adds industrial land. The commission was told a formal public hearing and council adoption are expected after required notices; staff estimated the TSP would return for hearing in roughly six to eight weeks.
