Forest Grove's effort began in early 1999 with the selection of DKS as consultants to do the plan. After numerous public meetings and conferences with the Technical Advisory Committee and Community Development Dept. staff, the final report is now taking shape and will have its first hearing before a joint meeting of the Planning Commission and the City Council on 8 Nov. 1999.
Some extracts follow.
The whole thing can be found at City Hall in the Community Development Department or at the Library. The plan also includes a transportation improvement program, as well as changes to Forest Grove codes and standards to implement the TSP recommendations. Modification to the city street standards to include Regional Street designs standards, and access spacing criteria. Identification of signal system and intersection improvements, to increase capacity in the roadway system at traffic congestion locations. Expansion of the city's system of pedestrian and bicycle facilities, with the objective of sidewalks or pathways for pedestrians on all collector and arterial streets, and bike lanes or bikeways on major collectors and arterials.
