    Silverton : Downtown master plan
    (City of Silverton (Or.), 2007-06) Oregon. Dept. of Transportation; Otak, Inc.; DKS Associates; Silverton (Or.); Oregon. Dept. of Land Conservation and Development
    The Silverton Downtown Development Plan has been identified by policy makers, citizens and business groups as a critical piece of Silverton's long range planning efforts. The Plan was formulated to accompany the City of Silverton's Comprehensive Plan.... The Downtown Development Master Plan evaluates and recommends development standards and design guidelines such as building height, orientation, required building materials, pedestrian and bicycle connectivity, streetscapes and other development standards. To achieve this, the plan considers public input, previous plans, marketing studies, and economic development. The plan also looks to enhance multi-modal transportation in the downtown area. This effort will help to improve traffic flow for pedestrians, bicyclists and vehicular traffic. In addition, new design standards for development will reinforce transportation planning by orienting buildings to the street and making connections to streets. [From the Plan]

With the future opening of the Oregon Garden, and the desire for more downtown commercial activity, the community wanted to address today's parking demand and plan for accomodating future demands within the context of the downtown historic district.

    Silverton : Transportation system plan
    (City of Silverton (Or.), 2000-10) Silverton (Or.)
    The Transportation System Plan (TSP) is the City's planning document for its future transportation needs. It allows the City to review its existing transportation facilities in an effort to determine what improvements will be needed for the up-coming 20-year period. The document takes not only street improvement needs into consideration, but also other forms of transportation such as transit, pedestrian, bicycle, rail, air, and water related facilities. The vision, and the recommendations within this document serve as a guide to both the Planning Commission and City Council when receiving land use applications, as well as determining which improvement projects receive funding as part of the City's Capital Improvement Program. The City of Silverton, through a Transportation Growth Management Grant from the TGM Program, administered jointly by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) and Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD), initiated an update of the City's Transportation System Plan (TSP). The TSP was developed in 1993, but the many land use changes occurring in the Silverton area over the past five years, such as the Oregon Garden development, suggested the need to update the transportation plan and its improvement program.
