The City of West Linn adopted their first Transportation System Plan (TSP) in 2000. The plan was updated in 2008 to address growth in West Linn and its surrounding communities as well as changes to state highway facility plans in the area. The purpose of the 2016 TSP is to address regulatory changes that have occurred in the region since 2008 and project a 20-year horizon for transportation planning. An important feature of this 2016 update to the TSP is the establishment of a set of performance measures that will be used to evaluate the future success of programs and projects.

The City of West Linn provides for the wastewater collection. For information, contact the Environmental Services Supervisor.
