Sherwood TSP update - July 29, 2025

The City of Sherwood convened a technical advisory committee meeting to discuss the update of its Transportation System Plan (TSP). The meeting included introductions of key stakeholders from various agencies including ODOT, Metro, and local city planners. The discussion focused on the scope, schedule, and coordination of the TSP update, which is aligned with new state climate-friendly and equitable community rules. Key topics included the integration of Sherwood West comprehensive planning, coordination with regional transportation models, and compliance with updated transportation planning rules that emphasize reducing vehicle miles traveled and enhancing multimodal networks. The committee reviewed a draft vision statement and goals for the TSP, emphasizing safety, sustainability, accessibility, and connectivity, with feedback sought on language clarity and inclusion of non-auto modes. The meeting also addressed challenges related to roadway capacity projects, data collection for traffic modeling, and the importance of inter-agency coordination to ensure consistency and effective planning outcomes. The update process is expected to span 18 to 21 months, with multiple technical memos and community engagement opportunities planned.
