The City of Seaside
is beginning the planning process to determine what transportation
improvements are necessary to address current and future needs of residents, businesses,
and visitors. This work is being done in coordination with the Oregon Department
of Transportation, Clatsop County,
and the Oregon Department of Land Conservation
and Development. This project began in March 2008 and is expected to continue through
February 2009.

The most recent developments are listed at the top.
Summer Assignment
Yes, the Seaside TSP team is giving out homework. We are asking the community to report back on a few things over
the summer months to help us further understand what we heard from the community survey.
1. Try a different mode of transportation!
2. Observe the system
3. Take pictures
Read the details of the assignment.
Attend the first Transportation Summit
The first Transportation Summit was attended by more than 30 people on Wednesday, June 18, 2008.
The Summit talked about how a transportation system plan will work and the survey
outcomes, plus included small group discussions to better understand community priorities. All materials
from the Summit are on the Work Task and Materials page.
Over 150 people take first survey
The web survey was open from April 15 to May 15 and more than 150 people participated.
The results were discussed at the Transportation Summit #1.
The planning efforts will result in a Transportation System Plan (TSP) for Seaside.
The TSP will describe how the transportation network in Seaside is being used now
(2008), and how it is expected to be used in the future (2030). The planning team,
through coordination with stakeholders and the public, will develop a plan for improvements
to all modes of transportation in Seaside, including:
- the road network for all city, county, and state roads
- the bicycle and pedestrian
network
- the transit network
- the rail network
- the airport
To learn more about the project and why it’s needed, read about the
project background and timeline. You can review the
project work tasks and materials to learn what the project is doing
now, and you can find out how to get involved
in upcoming events and meetings. You can also tell us
what you think by sending us your comments and questions (we will respond if you ask
us to).
