Washington County : Transportation plan

Abstract

The Transportation Plan is a comprehensive analysis and identification of transportation needs associated with the development patterns described in the community plans and the Rural/Natural Resource Plan. Prepared from both the county-wide and community planning area perspectives, the Transportation Plan addresses the major roadway system (i.e., non-local roadways), transit, pedestrian and bicycle transportation issues and focuses on specific and system requirements. Existing and future roads and streets that are part of the major roadway system are provided a classification in the Transportation Plan indicative of their existing or planned function, right-of-way, alignment and structural dimensional standards. The local street system is designated on the community plans and the Rural/Natural Resource Plan, which are best suited for addressing the local street system. Many provisions of the Transportation Plan are implemented by the community plans, the Rural/Natural Resource Plan and the Community Development Code.[From the Plan]
