Crater Lake Highway transportation and land use study : Integrating land use & transportation in the Highway 62 corridor : North Medford - White City (2003)
(Rogue Valley Council of Governments, 2003-06) Rogue Valley Council of Governments; Rogue Valley Metropolitan Planning Organization; Medford (Or.); Jackson County (Or.); Rogue Valley Transportation District; Oregon. Dept. of Environmental Quality; Oregon. Dept. of Transportation
The study succeeded in bringing to the forefront the concept of integrating land use and transportation planning to optimize the utility of a proposed expressway between Medford and White City. Through the study process, recommendations have been developed to protect the function and integrity of the proposed expressway, and to support successful commercial areas and livable residential neighborhoods. If the decision is made to build an expressway between North Medford and White City, ideas produced in this study can guide state and local decision makers to choices that will enhance the Hwy. 62 corridor area in many ways.
