Transportation System Plan

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 programs and projects in both the planned and financially-constrained elements of this Plan were selected and prioritized based on the performance objectives and input from stakeholders. This approach will ensure that future programs and projects reflect community values and make the most efficient use of available resources. The TSP is a supporting document to the West Linn Comprehensive Plan.

This 2016 update of the TSP is consistent with the Metro 2040 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and the 2012 Regional Transportation Functional Plan (RTFP). The TSP fulfills the Transportation Planning Rule (TPR) requirements for comprehensive transportation planning in Oregon cities, and presents the investments and priorities for the Pedestrian, Bicycle, Transit, and Motor Vehicle systems along with new transportation programs to correct existing shortfalls and enhance critical services. The TSP also supports Goal 12: Transportation of the city of West Linn’s Comprehensive Plan and the adopted vision
for West Linn, Imagine West Linn. The goals, policies and performance measures presented in Chapter 2 of this TSP are consistent with the goals articulated within the Comprehensive Plan and the Vision.
