Transportation Forum
Wednesday, October 24th, 2012 from 6:30 to 8:30 PM
Historic Ashland Armory
208 Oak Street
Ashland, OR
The City's Transportation System Plan proposes changes to sidewalks, bike lanes and streets that we use every day. The Transportation Commission and Planning Commission's goal was to create a system that will sustain Ashland into the year 2034. Over the next 30 years, these two Commissions are recommending that the city will spend 20-30 million dollars to improve the transportation system.
Attend the Forum on October 24th and learn answers to the following questions: -Is traffic going to get worse? -Can you walk or bike safely where you need to go? -How will the plan impact your daily life? -Is the downtown going to change? -How will the city determine if the road diet is successful? -How will we pay for all these changes?
The City Council will consider the transportation recommendations later this fall.
