Abstract:
Over 25 years ago, in November 1979, the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners adopted
the current transportation element of the County Comprehensive Plan, which includes goals
(1.0140) and policies (1.0145). Updating this element with a Transportation System Plan
(TSP) will allow Lincoln County’s Comprehensive Plan to be consistent with changes in
regulations and to evaluate future transportation needs....Work on a new TSP was started 7 years ago in 1999, but the TSP was never completed. That
effort included public involvement to identify transportation issues in the county and
develop goals and objectives for a TSP.
Lincoln County obtained the services of CH2M HILL and Angelo Eaton & Associates to
help the County update and complete the TSP. A cooperative transportation planning effort
has involved the public, Lincoln County, the Oregon Department of Transportation, all the
cities, and the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz. [From the Plan]
