Abstract
The City of Salem is adapting its current transportation infrastructure to
enhance active transportation within the City. The City is complying with the
goals of Vision 2020 – a comprehensive effort to secure a vibrant future for the
downtown core and to create a more sustainable transportation system.
The Portland State University Department of Civil and Environmental and
Engineering partnered with The University of Oregon Sustainable Cities
Initiative to explore the feasibility of various transportation network alternatives
proposed by the City of Salem. The Downtown Salem Circulation Study was
conducted by Portland State University civil engineering students in order
to evaluate proposed alternatives for bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure
improvements. The alternatives came from the Salem Willamette River Crossing
Alternate Modes Study, Vision 2020 Bicycle and Pedestrian Working Group, and
the Salem Transportation System Plan. These alternatives addressed areas that
lack safe and connected travel routes for pedestrians and cyclists along traffic
corridors and between neighborhoods.
