The findings and recommendations of the Highway 99 Corridor Plan have been incorporated in this TSP. 2.6.2. East Pine Street Transportation Plan — This plan was prepared in 2004 by JRH Transportation Engineering. The purpose of this plan was to provide an assessment of the future transportation infrastructure of the East Pine Street corridor area to accommodate regional and local traffic growth. The plan forecast traffic growth through the year 2023 and recommended improvements necessary to maintain an acceptable level of service. The findings and recommendations of the East Pine Street Transportation Plan have been updated and incorporated in this TSP. 2.6.3.

Section 2. Amendments to TSP Chapter 5 — Transportation Management to read: Pg. 2 Ordinance No. a n (091015) 5.4. Access Management (AM) 5.4.1. Access Management Planning In recognition of the value of access management, the City of Central Point has prepared access management plans and standards for its arterial and collector street system. • Access Management Plan for Front Street (Highway 99)/Pine Street. This plan was prepared in 2003 to identify access management strategies for the section of Highway 99 generally defined as Front Street. The Plan also included the section of Pine Street from Haskell Street to First Street. Both short-term and long- term access strategies were developed. The findings and recommendations of the Access Management Plan for Front Street (Highway 99)/Pine Street Plan are incorporated in this TSP by reference. • Central Point Highway 99 Corridor Plan. This plan was prepared in 2005 and addressed the land use and transportation needs of Highway 99 as a major transportation corridor. This plan differed from the 2003 Access Management Plan for Front Street (Highway 99)/Pine Street Plan only to the extent that its purpose was broader in scope, including roadway geometry options, bicycle and pedestrian systems, urban design solutions, etc. The access management recommendations in both plans are consistent for the section of Highway 99 referred to as Front Street. The findings and recommendations of the Central Point Highway 99 Corridor Plan are incorporated in this TSP by reference. • IAMP for 1-5 Exit 33 (Central Point). The plan was prepared in 2015 to identify improvements for I-5 Exit 33 that can be implemented over time to maximize the function of the existing interchange and address the long-term needs of the Central Point and Rogue Valley communities. The IAMP includes the Access Management Plan that includes access management techniques and objectives for the IAMP study area. The findings and recommendations of the Access Management Plan for TAMP 33 are incorporated in this TSP by reference. 5.6.
