Milwaukie Planning Commission - 2/25/2025

The City of Milwaukie Oregon Planning Commission held a meeting on February 25, 2025, focused primarily on an update to the City's Transportation System Plan (TSP). The discussion centered on existing conditions, needs, and gaps in multimodal transportation infrastructure, including pedestrian, bicycle, vehicular, freight, and transit networks. Staff and consultants presented detailed analyses of pedestrian and bicycle level of traffic stress (PLTS and BLTS), system completeness, and priority focus areas, highlighting specific corridors such as Lake Road where the BLTS rating was debated and adjusted based on qualitative feedback. The Commission reviewed maps showing infrastructure gaps, connectivity issues, and multimodal functional classifications, with attention to equity and underserved populations. They also discussed potential project prioritization criteria and the evaluation framework to guide future project selection. No specific contract awards, RFPs, or vendor selections were mentioned, but the meeting laid groundwork for future capital improvement projects and grant applications related to transportation infrastructure enhancements.
