Abstract
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. [From the Plan]
