Planning Manager
--.....
The City of Central Point recognizes the importance in having and maintaining a coordinated network
of transportation facilities that serves current and future state, regional and local transportation needs.
In response to this objective, the City has prepared this Transportation System Plan {TSP} to assure
that not only are the transportation needs of its citizens met in a timely and efficient manner, but that
in doing so, the transportation system will continue to be improved in a manner that supports
projected growth and enhances the quality of life of those living and visiting the City of Central Point.
This TSP has been prepared within the context of an urban area consisting of 2,880 acres, the state's
Transportation Planning Rule (TPR}, the Regional Transportation Plan {RTP}, and other local
transportation plans. The TSP will serve as the Transportation Element of the City's Comprehensive
Plan meeting the requirements of Statewide Planning Goal 12 -Transportation.
The following represents the principles that have guided the preparation and future implementation of
this TSP:
1. To strike a balance between accessibility and connectivity of people and goods, while keeping
the system safe, attractive and well-maintained.
2. To advocate land use patterns, such as transit-oriented development and in-fill strategies, that
support the continued enhancement of mults-modal transportation.
3. To increase street system safety and function through the adoption and implementation of access
management standards for the purpose of maintaining and preserving the existing investment in
transportation facilities.

4. To design streets in a manner that maximizes the utility of public right-of-way; is appropriate to
their functional role; and provides for multiple travel modes, while minimizing their impact on
the character and livability of surrounding neighborhoods, business districts and the
environment.
ISSUES
There are no issues in initiating consideration of the amendment.
