Traffic Safety Commission Meeting - July 13, 2026

The City of Newberg Traffic Safety Commission met on July 13, 2026, primarily discussing local traffic safety issues and infrastructure planning. Key procurement-related topics included updates on a grant application for three additional radar speed trailers to improve traffic monitoring, and a detailed presentation on the city's System Development Charges (SDCs) used to fund capital improvement projects such as water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation infrastructure. The commission also reviewed ongoing engineering studies and active issues logs related to traffic safety concerns, including a complex intersection at Illinois Street and North Main Street. The commission voted to include this intersection's review and potential solutions on the October agenda and to invite Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) representatives to provide input on possible mitigation measures and future planning. Discussions highlighted funding challenges for large infrastructure projects and the need for coordinated planning with state agencies. No contract awards or vendor selections were made during this meeting, but the commission focused on prioritizing capital projects and grant opportunities to address traffic safety needs.
